Bad call?

Hey you lot, this is my first post on the clinic...This hand is from the DTD 2 days ago and I got some abuse in the chatbox after making the call (only from the guy who lost) and I just wanted some opinions on whether you think it's a terrible call or not.

Jimchree was being very loose and not letting go when he hadn't hit, being very aggro. I didn't put him on a jack so was happy to get to showdown. I didn't shove the river because I knew I'd only be called by a Jack but by checking I knew he would bet hands much worse than mine.

    only thing I will say is that you should have shoved first, rather then check calling all in! nh.

    yeah all looks good wp

    you can bet and get called by a worse K/worse pairs they don't have to just have a J here hwoever the river was such a brick and so many draws missed then a check/call is good too

    personally with your stack size/in the pot i would never be folding here

    don't take notice of chat box comments when they are relating to your play.

    you put half your stack in all ready on turn, if they had j they would have reraised imo, so calling river i have no prob wiith although i would have shoved and hope they never had j
