No.

Your strategy was to let villain hang himself

then you value bet the river and called a push over the top of that

uh ok

[Big_Jim]

Perhaps he made a "fake" blocking bet to induce a bluff?

Probably not...

[Lucky]

I fold river. He may not have a monster, but hes definitely got you beaten.

One more thing, i think a very profitable priniciple in poker is that sometimes, people will just run over you and you have to let them. Some nights, you get no cards, you're table image is crap, people are popping every continuation bet, etc. This is among the most dangerous times. If you can avoid gettin paranoid and nutty and jammin it with TPMK or whatever, you save a lot of money.

OP's play does not constitute jamming.

If Villian was a thinking player, his line was not necessarily consistent with a hand that beats Hero. You don't wait for the river to raise a LAG.

Hero needs to be ahead only 25% of the time here to show a profit.
