    You played it fine i think.

    The only thing i might do differently is bet a little less on the flop and turn, but river check was good. After he pushes it looks like J-x/FH (Missed FD is possible, but not as likely as the other hands). Nice fold.

    I might check the turn here. His stats are funny, but that doesn't mean he's going to call you down light on three streets. You give a free card to a f/d or lower pair, but you can then bet/fold or check/call river.

    Hand is kinda tough if he bets turn.

    is this right? should it be 41/21/2?

    i think you played the hand fine. If villains AF really is 21 i think i call this river.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    We are talking (VPIP/Raise preflop/call preflop raises right?

    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    What about a blocking bet on the river?

    lets bet 10-12 on the river and fold to a raise if we think he has Jx here more than a mid pp or flush draw.

    Even an AF of 2 would find a raise somewhere on the flop or turn with trip jacks, wouldn't they?

    I think I make these hero calls too much, where I check and "induce a bluff" and put villain on a missed flush draw, for such an overbet.

    I probably call here, but that might not be the best play. I also check this turn for pot control.
