Villain is unknown
PF: Standard 3x raise
Flop: It's a dry flop, and I bet strictly for value against worse J and smaller pps.
Turn: 9 still doesn't change much so I bet again for value. At this point, with such a dry board, I'm already thinking of barreling the River for max value because Villain most likely has worse J. BUT after I bet the turn, he instantcalls.
River: Very worried by his instantcall, and he bets PSB. Initially I thought the only hand he could have me beat was J9, and didn't think he could rep a lot w his line. But after seeing this again, he might have 44s and 55s which just go along w flop & turn because the board is so dry they wouldn't have to worry about getting outdrawn.
It was kinda "easy" fold for me. Just want to make sure if indeed it should be so and I'm not playing weak?
