small pocket pair hand

[obs 0]

Here the CO is an extreme LAG. My reraise is because I highly doubt anyone has jacks and to represent jacks possibly getting a free card on the turn if they fear another check raise. Plus I might push a better hand out.Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is BB with 4:club:, 4:diamond:. 1 fold, Hero calls.Flop: (8.50 SB) J:club:, J:spade:, 6:spade: (4 players)Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, CO bets, UTG+1 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls.Turn: (7.25 BB) 8:diamond: (3 players)Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO checks.River: (7.25 BB) 3:heart: (3 players)Hero bets, MP3 calls, CO folds.Final Pot: 9.25 BB

Okay, I might be able to be convinced that a raise on the flop isn't badBut betting this river? Why? MP3 has you beat and you just lost a BB

MP3 has you beat and you just lost a BB

Yep. You check/raised to get the maniac heads up. It didn't work. If MP3 is on a flush draw, then there is absolutely no point in betting the river. Check/fold.EDIT: anyone betting the turn? I am....and folding to a raise, then check/folding the river.

It would seem somewhat logical that the 8 did not help my opponent
