Open folded to me in SB I make it 30 with AJo, villain calls in BB. Villain is a not too loose, nor too tight, not too aggro or passive. Two to the flop of J33, 2 hearts. I bet pot ($68), he raises to $200. I call. Turn is an offsuit deuce, I check-call $400. River 7o. I check-call $800. How's my line?

Edited to add: effective stacks 2k at beginning of hand.

Yikes.

I think you have to fold if a heart comes at any point.

Otherwise, depends on opponent.

His river bet is soooo big it looks like a bluff rather than a value bet.

If villian is capable at all of raising a draw, I would consider leading the blank turn yourself for $400. Now you fold if he raises you there.

As played, the best you can hope for is a chop with another AJ. I think the turn decision is pivotal, and I'd rather bet the turn then passively call that and the river.

Big bet. You have to fold imo. Overpairs and 3x are quite possible in battle of the blinds.

Best wishes

Pot looks like about $1260 on the river, how is that $800 bet "soooo big"? That said, if he's not bluffing w/busted hearts/stone nothing, looks like youre crushed. I like the idea of leading the turn as well.
