HOTD: Pretty slim

This hand came up in the middle of a very aggressive match. I'm happy with it.

My opponent was the kind of player that would check-raise top pair Jacks nearly every time, so when he bet out the flop, I put him on a draw or a low pair.

Then my raise on the turn looked kind of weak because I also probably would have raised the flop if I actually had a Jack. None of the draws had come in, so I pushed the call button (I thought a call would put me all in, which is why I had $29 left on the river). I don't know if this call is profitable against my opponent's range, but I went with my read.
