All comments welcome, no reads.

I feel like I sometimes get myself into bother by not differentiating between extracting value, and re-opening the betting to put me to tough decisions

    Just call, if he has the J then fair play.

    If you raised the river, like u did....

    Then folded to the shove.....as u probably didnt.....

    Wud that mean u had turned your hand into a bluff?

    I think i just flat the river, i dont really see much point raising.

    calling > raise-calling > raise-folding readless here i think

    knowing what he's taking this line with so you know whether or not you can value bet light either raising or betting in later spots is better (if you call and see he bet 55/87 or whatever here) than putting in 50bb then closing your eyes hoping to see half the pot back in your stack.

    BLEHHHHHHH

    Put it in and hope he hasn't a J. Take half the pot..

    I did call and of course he showed J8.  I was really tempted to fold here as I really couldnt find any other hand to put him on. An Ace is surely just calling my raise.
    Lol, I think in the end, i searched that hard for a hand to put him on I decided to hope he had pp77 and him being so bad that he didnt realise his flopped boat was now counterfeited.
    Everytime, im coming close to folding, I`m thinking, `how can I put him on quads and fold`, i just couldnt do it.

    As blackfish said, in hindsight there wasnt much point in raising surely?, anything I have beat is surely folding?.

    To Dohh, I dont think, personally, if I had folded, I would be turning my hand into a bluff, as when I raised I obv thought I had the best hand.  To fold, would just mean, now I dont think I have the best hand.

    If I was raising, and turning my hand into a bluff by repping the J....... well I`m never doing that

    you say you struggle knowing the difference between v -betting and getting in a mess well the answer is you have to think what will call you that you beat. in this instance what hands will call your raise? anything lower than the A? no, in which case whats the need to raise as you only split the pot and as you say open yourself to a reshove and an awkward decison...

    spots like these where you are most likeyl chopping but some of the time gettin value from a worse fh i like to just call for 2 reasons 1. avoids a difficult decision if there is a 3 bet and 2. we get to see his hand to see what he v-bets on these boards
