No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$5 + $0.25 Heads Up Sit & Go Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BBHero1370 SBVillain1630  Effective Stacks: 69bb Blinds 10/20 Pre-Flop (30, 2 players) Hero is BB villain raises to 60, Hero calls 40 Flop (120, 2 players) Hero checks, villain checks Turn (120, 2 players) Hero checks, villain bets 80, Hero calls 80 River (280, 2 players) Hero checks, villain bets 280, Hero calls 280 Final Pot: 840 Hey guys, so i'm back at the $5s having taken off my whole roll some months ago and i'm trying to rebuild.  So far villain has limped his first button and potted river after a ot of checking.  He 3x my open so i folded pre, he folded his next button, then  called my 3x next hand and lead for pot on the flop to which i had to fold.  This is hand #5 with no reads beyond what ive said.My thoughts; I don't want to 3x (like normal) as i've seen villain being pretty aggro and i dont want a huge pot.  On the flop it looks strong for cbetting so i opt to check/call but obviously he checks behind.  On the turn I definitely should have led but c/cing isnt a total disaster.  On the river I am expecting to see 8x a lot, beyond that his hands don't seem to make a lot of sense, especially with my initial speculation of his play - Ax Jx seem impossible (MAYBE J2 or J8), 35 maybe, or even 99, 1010.How could I have played the hand better?  Is looking up the pot river bet std?
