    himself fucker.
    When he calls your turn bet, he's showing every indication of just turning into a calling station. I would err on the side of caution with the river considering the turn card and action thus far.

    the reason why i went aggressive was he didnt re raise me preflop so i thought he might of had a low pocket pair or 2 overs i mean that king did scare me cause i was afraid he called with like king queen or ace king but this guy was a calling statiuon with to many bad hands like A 5 of suit

    Well, if you give him SO LITTLE credit as to think he'd call both the turn and river with A5, then more power to yah. But it'd be rare that a player like that would exist in a tourny long enough to make that read.

    I agree with checking on the river.

    The raise on the flop was correct. which meant he couldve quite possibly bet out with the flush draw and you wanted to see where you stood. (alot of times, depending on the player, I wont re-raise with Jacks because overcards are so likely to hit the board and I hate becoming too comitted with them) The turn card was a scare for both of you and if you thought he was calling you with two overcards and he had a king, you wouldv e have really bet there but, I mave tried to bet there or maybe not to see his reaction on the river. I definitely would've checked the river. 1) If Im beat, I cant but the pot by going all-in and if I'm ahead, I'm probably not gonna get paid off. Would you call the rest of chips there with a pair of 9's?
