I decided my line sucked. The only hand I beat that he may call with is KQ with a club.
I've weighed all of the advice. I still think folding preflop is weak.. and folding the flop is downright weak/tight. This guy's holding are a wide range, especially from the button.
That being said, I beleive the best EV move I can do is check/call. I'll just have to grit my teeth and call the river. It makes no sense to escalate the pot. I thought I was protecting my hand, but if he's fairly certain to bluff the river then I will get more value from that.
Results:
He pushed back. I called. He had
[Jc] for the flopped nuts.
