Call. He's not going to call you with anything other than a Q if you raise, and if you raise he might call you with the nuts. Raising gets you nothing more than calling, and calling is a lot safer.
My sig is too much for you to handle.

I bet the flop. As played I think I call the river for reasons stated above. A raise only gets called by hands that tie or beat you. I think JT finds a fold, unless he's horrible.

I talked myself into checking flop here here because of the two villians, somewhat wet board, and 2nd pair giving me some showdown value. Plus no reads, and keep the pot small.

On the river I figure he has a weak J or strong T, and might call if I raise... so I bumped it to $20. I was right, sort of. He had J8d FTW.

Calling on the river if you don't have the nuts is usually good advice...in fact hearing the advice on this board has saved me more money than anything. Hands you have beat won't be calling your big raise but hands that do beat you will call or worse, re-raise.

I play the river safely now. Maybe I lose a couple dollars of value on hands, but I prevent myself from having to make a big call and lose a significantly bigger pot.
