Villian is 26/10/1.34

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J, K.
2 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls.

From his stats, he looks pretty solid, but for one more from the bb his range could still be somewhat broad


Flop: (4.50 SB) 2, T, 6 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

I'm raising for a free card on the turn if I don't make top pair or the flush

Turn: (4.25 BB) 2 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: (4.25 BB) K (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 6.25 BB

Yeah top pair, but do I call fearing the flush ? Or do I value raise putting him on a ten ?

Sometimes a raise in this situation is the thing to do, but not always. The villian's numbers show tight-passive. I suspect that he would've three-bet the flush. He could have Ac6x. But, KT is also possible. The way it's played, calling is fine. I'd say around 40% of the time, you should raise the river. Btw, a lot of the time you should have been making a Turn bet here.
