No reads on villian, only played a few hands. Comments on all streets appreciated but I guess the real question is should I have value bet the river, and when facing the river reraise is this a call?

Easy call. Cooler if you're beat, you have the nut straight.

It didn't take me long to call at the time, but I found it hard to put him on a hand from the flop and turn action. Apart from him having trips I didn't really know what hands he would make this raise that I beat?

You will see Jx many times here, enough to make this call. If he filled up, there's really nothing you can do. At this level I just can't see myself folding this, and probably never will.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

I think making this call was +ev so I agree with you n4rf, just on here to see if people think it's a leak?

On the river you should be thinking, "How can I get as much of his money in the pot that I can."

He did your work for you. Be happy.

I assume you lost though, so suck it up, you played this perfectly, and he played his JT, J5 or J8 horribly.

Edit: added italicized part

Thanks for the input folks, sometimes you just need to confirm with a few others that you made the right play even when you are 95% sure you did.

Think of it this way. All you know for sure is that he has a Jack. Tons of players at this level are more than happy to put all of their money in the pot with J2 here. Against J2+ you win 72% of the time. Shovel your money in.

Which one did he have? JT?

He did end up having J10, in my mind I had to raise the river bet for value, and the call is still reasonable, I agree that this can be done by any J at this level.

Thanks for the input mate

Yah, I mean look how he played his hand. Had the 8 not dropped on the river, he lost a TON of value by slowplaying his hand since you would have called a flop raise, and called a decent sized bet on the turn.

If ANY other card had dropped on the river, he would have left the hand winning .70 when he should have won at 3.

Don't play like him.
