Re: Raised on the river with a scare card...
Flop -- any thought to a c/r here? In a five-way pot with a semi-coordinated board, isn't one of the last two players very likely to want to bet it up, no matter what either one holds? And then your raise either gets more money into the pot while you're ahead, or puts more pressure on middle players with a thin draw to let go. Or both.
River -- Yup. He's betting as if he has the J, and he probably does. But you need only an 11.1% chance of taking down the pot to justify a call. He'd bet the same way if he had T8, 98 or Q8. There's about a 11.2% chance that your hand is still good.
