would check jam be getting out of line here? i thought x/c could look more credible/stronger and if turn checked thru i was planning on betting most rivers hoewever the dbl paired board runout made me change my mind. still not sure about my line. how u play this spot?

I dont like the limp-call line when you have to put in over 10% of your stack. Folding or betting yourself both are preferable in my opinion. You missed the flop completely so x/c with the intention of raising later is also a plan that needs everything to go right. In this hand it did, op didn't bet the turn, cards you could have in your range appeared but you still chickened out of bluffing. I suggest more straightforward plays in the future.

Hero's stack is only 18BB! limp-fold is the best option I believe.
