MP showed A♥: T♣: and won $1.64 ($0.86 net)

Preflop I got great odds to complete.
OTF I didn't want to semibluff in mw pot.
OTT I had a straight, but flushes also completes. Because nobody bet OTF their flushdraws I thought I was ahead and bet againts flushdraws and straight draws (I didnt think anybody had AK, but some Kx hands). I didnt want to bet too large, 'cause maybe I already was beaten.
OTR Any 10x and any Qx hand also beat me, so I just gave up to bet.

Should I call his ~ 1/2 pot bet or not?

You only beat a bluff on the river i dont think AJ and KJ wil bet there. I think that folding is the best option.

Yup I vote fold as well.
Nothing villain could hold would fold to a bluff either.

Also, betting the bottom-end straight when a flush makes it on the turn is a bluff (or semi-bluff if you like) that in this case didn't work.

I'm curious to hear what others think...

Cheers,
VS

Preflop is fine. We have a good price and it's not that likelly that BB will squeeze lightly vs fishy UTG. I also wouldn't donk the flop with such a weak gutshot. Turn probe is fine because it's very likelly we have the best hand. Not sure we can call this bet a bluff bet because I don't see what are we bluffing against (flushes?). We are betting against Qx, Jx, Tx and flushdraws, so I would say this is a value/protection bet. River is a bad card for us and I don't see alot of worse hands calling, except Jx vs a very small bet. When we check, I expect A-high and Jx to check back and to be behind vs his betting range. So I would either bet very small and fold vs a raise or check/fold.
