$550 live tourney, blinds are 400/800 + BB ante of 800. I have ~45k (55BB) and villain has about the same.
I'm UTG with 8
8
. I open to $2,000. Villain flats on the button.
Pot is $6,000 and we see a flop of 68
10. I lead for $2,500 and villain calls.
Pot is $11,000 and we see a turn of 9. I lead for $4,500. Villain calls.
Pot is now $20,000, effective stacks are around ~$36k. We see a river of 7
. I check and villain bets $7,500.
Hero?
I would appreciate thoughts on each street. Thanks!

J, KJ, QJ. I think JJ is a decent possibility here as well.My rationale for small sizing on the flop is that I want to keep in his overs with backdoor (ie. his QJ, KJ, AJ, etc.). A large bet gets rid of those hands right?
TBH I probably should have considered my turn play a bit better. I think a check may have been a better play.

is, say, the 5 instead, and there's a 4-card straight on board, and I can scoop the whole pot if he doesn't have a J, then I think I'm more likely to call. But knowing that it's only a chop if I'm right with the straight on board, and with how many Jx I think he has, folding seems best.
