1/2, riv decision w tp

since you haven’t mentioned any suits on the community cards, I will assume they are rainbow 😉

J9 is a hand that I don’t open unless i’m in the CO or later, but if you think you have a skill edge, you can make that open. just be sure to not make too many of these loose opens.

you could also have made it 12-15, I would prefer that in these kind of games, but anyway, in theory there’s nothing wrong with making it 7, so far so good

flop: standard play I think, you can use your weak top pairs in your checking range to make sure that if you check you don’t always expose yourself to a turn bet by villain, but cbetting is fine. sizing looks okay I think, around half pot, can go a bit bigger maybe

turn: the most interesting street of this hand. your check on the overcard looks weak, if the opponent had no showdown value ( a straight draw or any kind of other draw), he should bet 99% of the time here ( at least I would). his check makes me believe he either has a Q ( in that case you just ran bad i’m afraid) or a pair, maybe A9 or A7. sometimes you will see him have A high, but rarely ( that hand might also bet since the showdown value is low).

the river is a value bet I think. when he checks back the turn I believe he must have some showdown value, and second pair weak kicker doesn’t beat much. with your line, I would check back an A high, so either he has a Q or a better 9, or he turns a hand like A high or third pair into a bluff. The only hand that can check back the turn and bet the river that we are ahead of is 109, since every other combination now beats us ( even some wacky played 10J or 98 or something). I think I would find a fold here, you will have better hands to call him down with in this spot.
