PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 5 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $2.33 (116 bb)
CO (Hero): $2.14 (107 bb)
BU: $3.60 (180 bb)
SB: $1.88 (94 bb)
BB: $8.64 (432 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.06) Hero is CO with A A
UTG calls $0.02 Hero raises to $0.14, 1 fold, SB calls $0.13, BB calls $0.12, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.45) J 4 5 (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.32, SB calls $0.32, BB calls $0.32

Turn: ($1.41) 7 (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

River: ($1.41) J (3 players)
SB bets $1.33, BB folds, CO (Hero) folds

I think Hero should have bet the turn for information. J on the river is a scare card for Hero. I think the decision on the turn was wrong, but it is hard to call on river.

I would, definitely, bet again OTT. I would make a hero call on the river. The fact, that the river brings another Jack, it lowers the change that the villain has a Jack.

You can not bet OTT "for information", if you do bet you are pot commited so you don't need any information. I'd just shove the turn.

yes, jam the turn and hope for the best. if they have a better hand, you're getting stacked on a blank river anyway, and nobody raised the flop, so that should be somewhat discounted.
as played, this is actually one of the worst rivers, because TP is obviously a big part of the range that calls a big bet on the flop. i want to fold, because villain is jamming oop multiway and both of you can still have a J, specially the BB.

Yes, I was thinking of a 1/2 pot size bet. But I guess, I'm committed then. Thanks!

Deffo bet the turn (Shove is too much imo). You can get value from Jx and draws and you don't want to give a free card to the draws.

River is ugly, as played: easy fold.

I'd also bet the turn here. And I'd probably not raise 7x directly (luckily you got some guys in) but we wanna keep them in the pot preflop so I'd raise to 0,10 probably

Shoving the turn seems like reasonable option to me.

Shove turn seems reasonable with in mind the SB has only $1,42 behind and pot is $1,41 and I expect he's a fish or something and is over shoving not that bad. Otherwise you need to raise pre-flop and Cbet flop a lot smaller if you want to get the money in on the river I think. 10c raise and a Cbet of around half pot on flop.

Cheers,

I agree with shoving OTT. You did bet quite large OTF, so SPR is close to 1 and you don't block hearts. I'm sure you'll get called by worse enough times.
That river makes me cry for the reasons Tom mentioned. He will have a lot of Jx and betting multiway is usually much stronger than usual.
Turn going check all the way will induce some river bluffs, but I think folding on the long run will be better at NL2.
