forced into a river value bet!

[mike l.]

this one was kinda funny. 10-20 and im on the button. great game, two A2C limpers and i limp w/ A6o. sb awful calls, bb checks. 5 handed.

flop J64 rainbow. checked to me and i bet, only the sb calls.

the turn is a Q putting two hearts up there. sb bets out very fast. i think and think and figure either he picked up a flush draw, has two pair, or paired a Q, but i have no decent read on which it is. i call.

the river pairs the J. he reaches for his chips and starts to move forward a little and i toss my 4 chips in quicker than him. he then makes a checking motion. i say "i thought you were gonna bet. i guess i just made a bet." he calls quickly and show 74o. A6o good! im pretty proud of my "value bet" lol.
