I'm not sure what to do here. Chime in if you have an opinion.

My feeling is the AQ or AJ of clubs just missed his monster draw. The AQ won't call a river bet, the AJ will. You are not beaten very often, and I don't see a check raise in your future even if you are. Do it.

You're looking at a pair plus a draw. Bet the river.

Good luck.

Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Don't let him off the hook.

Thanks guys. I figured it was an easy value bet. I bet, he called and turned over JTo.

Thats why its a value bet, not a guarantee of money. You have to lose them sometimes. FWIW, he would have bet the river and you would have called. River was very scary for him =)

Bet.

I would not have played the hand the same as you did. Once check-raised on the flop, I would have waited until the turn and raised a blank.
