Didn't want to say it, but this is what I thought too when I read the hand history.. seems like a well played hand by villain, he just had horrible luck.
The more likely scenario of no J on the turn means he would have bet hard again, leaving you with having leaked 5100 chips on a nothing-hand. (a 7 would be a possible destacking in your favor too, but again, low odds) And even with the J showing up, he knew you had it, so you weren't going to extract any more value. But with the J showing up again on the river.. he had no choice but to call. In truth, it was more likely a Q would show up, leaving you destacked.
Of course Hero got lucky, isn't that what we hope for when calling a hand that is behind when we have the odds to do so?
From looking at this from my limited experience; it appears the hand was well played by the villian, with the exception of the mini-raise. The mini-raise gave odds for Hero to see the flop. From what I've read and seen, each choice in Poker is made independantly of previous choices. So while villian made have made the perfect choice on the flop/turn/river, his intial and argueably only mistake cost him the hand. Lets face it, who wouldn't have folded J7 offsuit to a 4xBB raise?
I'm not experienced enough to call that size bet on the flop with TPLK, but it looks like less than the pot, so its callable. My respect to Hero.
