Hero...?

So off flop, I have 2nd nuts. No raise preflop indicates I probably do have the best hand at flop. Turn is king, now theres a chance of a 4 card straight, 4 card flush, Trip kings and trips jacks. Only the jacks and kings beat me thus far, but based on villians min raise, I dont think he hit hard with the king. Even with 2pr, Im still ahead. Again if he hit trips kings, he never raised preflop and I still think Im ahead. Couldnt decide to reraise or wait til river....I think now with the 4 card str8s and 4 card flush options, i should have raised.......what we think about the river bet?

that is a weird raise, i dont know what he could have here. I think we check call the river fearing amybe pocket J's, but why slow play them? I think top two is a big possibility here

You seem to have the best hand on this river.

I probably check and give him a chance to bluff with his busted straight and/or flush draw.

I check/call.

If he slowplayed jacks on flop or hit a two outer on turn then be it. It happens.

If we are gonna lead this river , i think we should have raised turn.

hmm ok......so what do you think would have been a better play....raise the poor min raise on turn (and if so what to?...maybe $4.50?) or check call the river? Again with the betting patterns of the button, it still seems we are ahead so if going that route why not check/push the river? I mean after the turn, we are down to what....$6 anyways?
BudBundy
I think i am raising this turn to force him push.

If he just calls we are pushing any river anyway.
shrimp4789
i agree, i should have pushed turn here.....or at least raised it....thanks bud

No problemo

Yeah, raise the turn. KJ is more likely than JJ IMO.
