The scenario is this...Andersin was playing tight and safe, only betting when he had a good hand. What do you think to my play?...

KJ isn't a hand you should be limping with ever... fold it early and raise with it in late...

No way to know since we didn't get to see villain's hand (must have been busted club draw or some crap like that for him to fold on the river).

Could have been Big Slick.

I think you played this hand well with the exception of the limp.

No way it is big slick- He would have hit his draw (Broadway) on the river then bet/folded- doesn't make sense.

if he is that tight and a little tricky could have been A's or K's - planing to limp reraise...

I cannot even fathom what the villain could have held that would make him play that way and then bet/fold the river, getting 9:1.

If he's as tight and safe as you say, he's not betting/raising four times at that pot as a semi-bluff with a club draw, or a pure bluff.

Maybe he had J Club 9 Club , but otherwise he had a hand that beat you (AJ, QJ, JT, TT, 44) and somehow put you on a better hand and made the worst laydown in history. I voted lucky.

EDIT: Just saw Mr. D's post. A weak-tight nit with a horribly played AA or KK, who realizes he's beat (and/or doesn't want to show it), fits the bill.

The only hands I can see betting the turn and bet/folding the river are
A Club Q Club
A Club 9 Club
Q Club 9 Club (less likely)

I would guess he was betting w/ a ton of outs on the turn hoping to drive you out. Then took one final shot on the river- no real reason to call the last 5 on the river w/ any of these hands (unless you make the crying call w/ a Q to see if Q's and J's is somehow good...)

AA, KK has to call to last 5 if it has gone that far
