    Recently moved to the table so no real information on the villain. I probably should have c-bet the flop but was happy to check behind and control the pot. The same goes for the turn. What do you put the villain after his river bet?

    Bad flop for Js, but I'd have bet 1/2 the pot there to see where I was at. If he has a K or Q he's likely to bump it to protect against straight and flush draws. If he just calls, I think he's drawing.

    Unfortunately, without betting the flop, you have no idea where you're at on the turn when the flush fills in - or the river when the board pairs.

    I have him on a big range, only because - without betting previous streets - I have no idea where he's at.

    His willingness to bet into you on the river makes me consider three Ks, a flush, or a boat.

    But it could very well be a steal. He can't have you on pairing a Q or K, because you likely wouldn't have checked through the whole way. He may be pricing you out with nothing, or with a smaller pocket pair.

    He has KQ and is hoping that you have AK or perhaps KJ
