Call, after your call the pot will be $4.16, it costs $1.08 to call you only have to be right slightly over one time in four.

Sure, you're beat here more than half the time, but you don't need to be right half of the time here.

My thoughts, feel free to critique.

Without a read this is a tough spot. When you c-bet the flop and villain simply calls with a board like that my alarm bells go off and I start to think he might have a set. 55 or 66 would likely call your preflop raise, JJ would hopefully have raised themselves. AJ/QJs/KJs might call. No real draws apparent.

Then when he just calls the turn bet alarms go off again. There are no draws here except hearts. However, now you have TPTK and should feel better about things. I probably would have pot sized that turn bet.

Him betting that amount on the river means either he wants to give you the right odds to call because he's sure he has you beat or he is bad and played AK/KQ/KJ/QJ this way badly, all of which still beat you. I fold.

LOL NO
he has one overcard or like a gutshot
he's calling because he's bad

why would you play those hands differently?

lolno he still has one overcard or a gutshot

by the river the gutshot misses, half of the overcards hit

so you gotta think you're good at least 33% of the time and he's betting his busted straight draw some of the time there

i like to check the turn sometimes and induce bluffs and cheaper calls on river.

if you were going to fold to such a small bet, might as well blocking bet the amount you're willing to call
