Good till you checked the river.

Routine until the river.

On the river I expect a loose bad player to call A, K, T, 7, 5, and PP. You will be checkraised by runner-runner flush, QJ, TT, AT, and KT, but he might have bet those hands. Without an ace it seems pretty safe to fold to a checkraise.

Many "calling stations" would nevertheless have taken a chance on betting an ace at some point.

I think this is a clear river bet.

PS: I'm glad you posted this. I was happy with your play until I read Tosh. That caused me to actually start thinking about what he could have.

Bet the river unless he only will call with Ax. I dont suppose thats what you meant by calling station.
Against a better opponent checking the river would prolly be good, but thing is that he would have bet his ace into you very often or shown more strenght ealier.

[JDErickson]

During a bad run when you are getting killed by the any A players it hard to remember the correct play regardless. I should have bet the river.

Opponent had JTo

A good player would need an ace or king to even be here. Something that could beat a pocket pair. With such a hand against an aggressive raiser, call-call-call would be a good line. It's a pretty classic far ahead/far behind situation so why should he bet?

Checking behind would be a good idea in this case because you lose a lot more often than you win.

Because he is out of position.
