do i have a reason to call here?

only logic was limped button probably would not call flop with j9 and would raise aj -_-

Raises on the river are almost always the goods with these players. They might try to lead out as a bluff but rarely can they raise.

Hitting two pair does suck though. Thing is, I don't really see anything he is willing to raise that you beat. I can't really blame you for calling but I might have reasoned a fold here.

I do like your logic overall, I would think AJ raises. However, we know a number of players do like to float with odd holdings so you did have to put J9 in his range. That and KT, QT, 55 and even KQ could be here. You min-bet wasn't enough to get rid of him on the flop... that was likely your only big mistake.

Your bet on the flop was weak and as Rycky has already said, there were a number of possible hands beating you. I don't know if your river bet was intended as a blocking bet or if you were going for thin value, but once he puts in that large raise I think you have to give him credit and not your chips. But it's a tough one and that was an ugly river card.

Great line, Tim.
