Default Re: Straight w/board pair

I call

For me, this is the 2nd & 3rd level thought process part of the game. What does your opponent think you have?? Because you bet the flop, I think its unlikely that your opponent would put you on a gutshot straight draw. I also, think that it is very unlikely your opponent flopped a set or two pair, the money would most likely go in on the turn instead of the river.

I think its much more likely your opponent has a hand like K-J, or Q-J, possibly A-J if they are really tight and didn't come in for a raise. When the board pairs a jack on the river, they think they have the best hand and bet out hoping to get called by a worse jack.

I can't see folding in this spot, I think you will have the best hand a high % of the time.
