I think I played this one terribly. The more and more I think about it I think he had a flush. But I think check call on the river is the way to go.

Are you really giving him credit for a 10 here?

That turn bitch bet is weird, I pop him up to at least $25.

As played bet bigger on the river, $20-25 and call his shove.

Bet $4.. bets $12.. checks... bets $5? ummm.. this seems a little weak to me. Strong bets.. and don't check.. that check is what killed ya... it was a freebee.

Well I was $150 down for the session at that point and low on confidence.

I couldnt put him on JJ+ because he would raise pf

I figure the only hand he could have called the flop would be something with a 10/set.

Thats why I checked the turn.

I think check call on the river. But I really felt like he had a 10.

Anyway in the grand scheme of things that fold wasnt all that bad because I managed to come back and finish the session $80 up.

I think if Id have lost that I would have given up for the day.

Even if he has 77/44 you're still ahead. I'm paying off the 10 every time here I think.

Yeah thats what Im thinking now.

If I had been even for the day I definately wouldve paid to see if my read was correct.

If it was wrong, no biggy, I just won a $140 pot.

What a weird hand. That turn confuses the hell out of me.
I either lead out on the turn and piss myself if I get raised or check/raise his stupid little bet (and make it a good one.) If villain comes over the top of your C/R, it's an easy laydown.

I'm probably paying off quads on the river as well.
