Hello,

We have no info about villian at this point.

Looks like pretty terrible spot on the river and Im not really sure whats the best play here?

 

[kozong]

turn is best time to gauge info/bluff here by betting 3600 or a bit more, you already bet the flop so it might look like you get your draw on turn & just check/folding river bet (or fold to a raise on turn)

 

[Veritas]

Maybe raise pre to 2.000-2.400


flop and turn is fine


with your check back OTT he might think his J is good.
the boards fits the sb calling range very well. A lot of Jx or 9x he might think are good here. It is not like he has a flush here everytime.
If you check back the turn, the A is a good Card to bluff for him.
with two pair I would call.

Easy call here on the river with Aces up. We are beating all of his value hands that aren't flushes, so a lot of other two pairs or Jx. I think you played the hand fine.

There's at least a call here, we've got a great showdown valley. And depending on the dynamics of the game, I will consider the raise-push of the river, as the check of the river is very weak in the eyes of the opponent.

 

[Anglermeister]

Easy Call on the river for me too! J9s is in his calling Range, and a value bet on the river for him, when you check the turn.

Of course is here a flush or set possible, but the price is fine and you have 20BB left when you lose.

 

[pentazepam]

Yes, unless he is a total nit that never bluffs or value-bet an ace here you almost have to call a half pot bet here after a check on the turn.

Some players like to check a flush on the turn and then bet big on the river to make it look like a bluff, but this bet is to small to fold to.

Well played, easy call OTR.
