This hand had me steaming, but in retrospect was big stack's play reasonable? I din't hesitate to fold - given the situation I put him on a good made hand: flush, straight or JJ - too weak?

I call here almost every time and reassess the river. The bet is so weak and the old "check it down" notion is so so terrible. If you had like 1000 chips behind, it's a fold.
