Preflop: I decided that JKo is good enough for a steal, but I suppose that is a matter of taste.
Flop: I think that opponents on this level play rather straight-forward, and will likely fold on a AAx board. With a flush draw they might either fold(I liekly represent an Ax hand or pair, and still have about 35% equity when they hit), or call (I planned to fire a second barrel on the turn). I did not anticipate a check/minraise and interpreted it as weakness (lower pair, or flushdraw) and called. Is that a bad decision?
Turn: I did not want to inflate the pot, and rather barrel or give up on the river.
River: If he had a weak hand, his hand did most probably not improve on the river (not counting a possible AA-22, which isnt very strong, or 45, which is not very likely), and his raise could indicate a steal, so I decided to raise him. His push then indicates that he did not have pure air(Ax becomes quite likely), and I have to fold.
Is this line reasonable? Any harsh criticism is appreciated:) but please with an explanation and not a simple "fold on xy"
