Bet more on the turn (at least pot size). If you're called on the turn, then I think a river check is fine. As it is, with no reads offered, I'd check it too. I doubt you're going to get a J to call you here, but sometimes at these levels you just don't know. BB is numskull. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He looks like he is drawing, so he is not going to call anyway. I think a value bet is ok here, as most players will lead out on the river with a T, and a set should have raised the turn. I think you are ahead, so you should bet, but if you have a note on the opponent to the tune of "can check-raise the river after showing no strength at all during the hand", then check it down.

This is standard.

If you have PV running and a lot of hands with Villian a quick CR% check may allow you to value bet.

90% of the time, this is a J. Since he can't have a J and the flush draw, do whatever you want to get the most out of a J. I would definitely bet the river. I might raise the flop. I would bet more on the turn.
