This is a hand I played earlier on NL4 that got me thinking abit. On the river the board makes a made straight now however I have the overstraight with the J in my hand. Considering the fact that players at this level call much wider than in higher levels and considering that the only hand you are beaten by in this spot would you always trying to put the money in or should more caution have been taken. One other point related to this is when a board comes like this by the river and you are playing the board at this level is it worth calling down a bet on river, which essentially means you are solely calling for a split pot.
All comments will be greatly appreciated as well as any other comments about the play leading up to the river.(Did not spot the flush, which I now know makes it a bad play however could comments be related to it being a rainbow board as well as this current one.)

Also as he has bet 2x the pot (wants paying or has air) I might even find a super nit fold with flush getting there but doubtful.
