Default JJ vs tricky aggressive villian (1/2 live)

Villian is a very aggressive player postflop. Once he takes the betting lead, he does not give it up easily. Very capable of bluffing all streets.

I played a similar pot with him earlier where I had 99 and the flop was KKx and we went c/c (I was OOP) and he bet 20 on a rag turn and I instacalled and the river went c/c as well. So he can tell that I'm not going let him push me around the way he has been with the rest of the table. Against most opponents he would probably bet all three streets in that hand regardless of his holdings.

He is sitting several seats away from me, but we have been chatting a bit and laughing, so there is no bad blood even though we're the big stacks at the table and have been creating pretty much all the action.

Villian has about 500 and I cover.

Suits are rainbow and irrelevant.

Preflop: Villian is in EP and raises to 10, meaning some sort of playable hand (face cards, connectors, any pair etc.). I call in the CO with JJ.

Flop (2 players, $20): 556

Villian nonchalantly bets 10, I nonchalantly raise to 30, villian ponders a moment and raises to 80, I call.

Turn (2 players, $180): (556)6

Check/check.

River (2 players, $180): (5566)7

Villian bets 50, I instacall.

Thoughts on postflop play?

You might wanna bet the turn, but with this guys agressiveness he just might blow you off your hand.

That river bet seems really small, I would probably raise it up.

Otherwise i think you played it well, the stacks are deep and you don't want to play for all your chips with 1 pair.

I like it. You're not getting a call from a better hand. But I'm thinking you're up against 89s here a bit, and possibly 88-TT here. I still call the river, but I like the line you took.
