I'm sure all of the members who strategized in the #ActionHero mission are growing impatient for the answers, so - while waiting for the Mystery Hero to reveal himself and pass judgement on the entries - here's how the hand ended:

nice hand ! i had imagin a proper scenario on turn, i decides to check and not conitnue bettin to not arrivin to this close up ,nice hand but too much risky hand in order to manage a stack during a tourney,force him to fold by overbettig the pot was pretty easy but i decided to more conservative approach to the hand, it's not my style this kind of action on this blind level. Nice Mission, thank for this opportunity...GoGoGo!! happy xmas @all

Hello heros ! It was very interesting to read all your comments !
Most of you described the best way to play the hand given the information you had, well done !
I remember that this hand was quite fun to play :) I used some information gathered in previous hands to take my decisions.
One of the crucial information I had when I pushed on the river was that the opponent had called on the river with a full house (3rd nuts) in a previous hand when it was very unlikely his opponent had a better hand.
Here, KJ and J8 are the nuts and 2nd nuts, and if he does not raise 3rd nuts they are the only hands he might raise in value.
They are both very unlikely, and it was extremely likely that he was on a bluff.
That's what makes poker interesting and without this info it was impossible to raise all in on the river :(
Well done for all the interesting answers though !
The top 5 of this challenge is :
1. Ben 'Machine' : It was interesting to read the ranges you came up with Ben. Good rational thinking !
2. Adam good thinking too !
3. Alessio you were quite right also.
4. wiliam
5. vatopkr
Good luck at the tables all !
