It's very possible he had a hand like AQ or something. Might as well check it down since you won't be getting any extra bets if he missed his draw and he'll c/r you if he's got a monster (not to mention a possible smooth call with Ax) so I don't see a problem with checking here. Unless you have some information on him like how aggressive he is, the check isn't bad IMO. Probably not getting max value by doing this, but unless I had some information on this guy or played with him before I'd check it.

Betting for value on that river is probably a good idea. Villain probably bets if he has the ace, otherwise you're good here most of the time.

However I'm not sure if villain calls with much you beat, just Jx.

I wouldn't raise UTG+1 with KJ at 2NL.

y not, utg is prob limping 9 2? i think rising is fine here, some will say u should be making it 10c, 4bb +1 per limper. just noticed this most be full ring, in 6max this is an automatic raise, maybe full ring is different.

I think your ahead most of the times, if u bet and he reraises your bet. aces bets on the river, 8x bets on the river. so checking is fine, and betting out for 1/2 pot is ok IMO

In terms to putting villan on a hand, unfortunely its very hard at nl02, i struggled to do this as some ppl play ATC and get lucky and think there brillant! when u move up to even NL04 it becomes easier to put put players on hands, altho yesterday i had a clown who hits runner runner 10s for trips and he slabbers to me, wtf.

I know what your saying about 6max but the fact that it is FR means that I think there are too many players left to act to try and iso this fish.

Read this beast for an awesome guide on beating FR 2NL up to 25NL.

Bet river for sure,if he would have that boat on the flop they wouldnt make that play in NL2 imo

Thanks for all posts and links. Felt really stupid after posting this because through that whole hand I was not thinking straight draw. feel a little better now though.
