I'd bet. Nobody has shown any aggression, and you want to get money in the pot with a good draw. If you get multiple callers, so be it, you have a good draw. If someone raises you, that's fine too. You'll win this hand a good portion of the time.

It turned out the guy directly after you raised, knocking most everyone out, but you had no way of knowing that would happen.

I'm curious as to what you think of MP3. Is he tight, loose, crazy, solid????

Depending on your read on this opponent, he could have easily just hit his jack on the turn, rather than representing a flopped set or some other monster.

The river gives you a pretty strong hand. Did you ever consider raising the river?

Early hand so I had no reads really. I figured my twp pair on the river wasnt that great so I opted to call

In that case, I would have played the hand the same way, especially on the flop. The hand is close, but I think betting was a much better choice than checking.
