$6.50T – JJ oop with weird river play

i dont see him checking a Q twice behind here. the river just looks like a lower pp or A high. the 8 is a possibility but unlikely.

hows my river play?

River looks ok, I would prefer a raise pre-flop though. Helps to define villian's range, if he 3-bets you can comfortably fold depending on any reads.

I openraise preflop, as played I prefer limp/fold preflop but it's close.

As played I bet turn

As played I like the minidonk on river, but I fold to the shove.

there is always a bigger fish

i completely agree with viewer.
preflop is a must raise imo, expecially on the 6,50s. if you limp you have to call the raise and go broke if you have an overpair on the flop. they are just raising way too much crap here.

Would also raise pre.

As played - would bet on the turn for sure. Same on the river and go broke.

This. While I do understand your reasoning it just seems inherently wrong to take such big risks early on in SNGs.
