Party $200 PL game: Out of position vs solid player

[aggie]

First of all, i hate the check raise on the turn. If you get reraised big, you're gonna have to lay down and that's not something you want to do here. I like leading out on the turn again.

The way you played it, check the river and call a reasonable bet. You're not getting called by a worse hand here and are probably getting called by a better one, so give you opponent a chance to bluff with a worse hand when you are ahead.

Villian is pretty solid, somewhat aggressive, haven't seen him get out of line. Not sure if it helps (i'm new to NL, and can't interpret pt stats like I could in limit), but his PT numbers are 34/4/2.5/75 hands
Advice/comments on any street would be appreciated - especially river, I felt I couldn't get a value bet (KJ or better A beats me, an agro heart draw folds) but did I give him a chance to push me out of the pot?

I agree with CRabbit here. What do you think opponent calls your raise on the turn with? Assuming he had at least top pair on the flop, then two pair AJ or KJ hand is going to be a common holding of your opponent -- not to mention all of the Ax hands that beat you. I would say you might take down this pot 30% of the time on showdown on a $1/$2 table so a value bet is out of the question. How does anyone who responded "value bet" justify it?

Also, you've posted in the wrong forum. This is a "Small Stakes" hand -- please read the message board rules.

yes he could have an ace, or any range of hands like J2, J7, or 27.
