Villain has seemed fairly active, but we haven't played many hands, so no real reads. Thoughts?

Why call the turn but fold the flop? That’s a relatively small bet and nothing really changed when the flop came

you must mean river? My hand's entirely a bluff catcher, he doesn't value bet worse than AJ on the river, so w/ zero reads and no reason to think he'd get out of line, I'm having a hard time finding a call when he triple barrels this board as I feel like he gives up w/ missed flush draws at least some of the time

It’s 3750 to win 10k right? There’s no real draws to speak of and he’s betting fairly cautiously which could mean anything from a smaller pocket pair to a weak ace or even TJ or something similar. I think he bets a little harder with AQ AK or AT

I’m not in love with this spot but with the odds he’s giving you I think it’s a call on the river

Disagree, villain may still be value betting a weaker A as he may think the turn/river pairing solved his kicker problem and he now has a 10 kicker, which you still beat.

our Jc seems to be blocking a bunch of JQ/KJ,J8s hands that might barrel of , although we hold Jc and he is more likely to have Js9s,Js8s,QsJs etc basically with backdoor flushdraws hands. On the other hand if we are folding this , what do we raise on the river if we have TT,22,A9,AT . Seems like a good hand to bluff with if we fold
