I'm putting the results in deliberately, because I think it's interesting in this case, if you don't want to know, don't look.

Obviously I can't fold at the river, but although the board was fairly safe, I really didn't think, I was ahead at that point anymore. Should I have bet TPTK anyway?

In this hand, I think, there was no chance at all, that I had the best hand at the flop, someone must hav had a little pocketpair or something, but I got almost everyone to fold. At the river, I still thought, that it was extremely unlikely that my A high with J kicker would be enough to win the pot, so I just gave up.
How would you have played that? A last stab at the pot at the river, check/fold after the flop, or someway else?
