i was called a donk for making that call i feel like i made the right call..
this was barely my 4th hand at the table so i really had no read on anyone at the table..
my thoughts was when he just called on the flop he could possible have a jack or a flush draw/2 overcards on the turn when i check he bet i feel like either way most players will bet because of the sign of weakness on my check so i just called when the river paired i felt it was unlikely he had the jack so check to keep the pot small but when he fired a pot size bet on the river i thought it was a very fishy play if he had a jack wouldnt he want to make a value bet so i called i felt it was a bet he didnt want called because of his miss draw

I don't think it was a bad play on your part. I think the river card was a bad card for him to fire another barrel at. It is less likely he has a Jack there and it was a pretty dry board as the flush didn't get there. You discounted 45 which is pretty easy to do based on his betting the turn and river.

It's like you were saying, would he utilize that bet sizing if he wants a call? Usually not.

Plus you now have a read on that particular player that you can tuck away for future reference that can be used if he/she does not adjust to that particular situation.

Nice play here. I think the player with AQ can actually check behind the river as if you do call the turn, you will quite possibly call the river.

agree, though there is a part of me that really wants to DB here, though the hand played out well , and it seems we checked and induced.

I don't mind your play at all. It just lacks aggression.

Curious to know your move if he checks behind OTT?

You can check raise on the turn since the villain's bet is weak. The play is fine and you have extracted much value rather than betting hard on the streets. I agree that the villain should have checked the river but he is also betting for thin bluff but the story is weak. He could have raised you on the flop and bluffed you out of the pot.

The villain got his bluff wrong.You were obviously calling down a made hand and he chose to bluff with his busted FD, he is the donk.
