what ?

Why are you betting 7.5 on river, that just screams I've got JJ-KK and want your 10x to call me praying I don't have Ax.

Just checkit back, you're not valuebetting or bluffing on river, just retard betting.

I think by checking back we lose alot of value from Tx and JJ-QQ, maybe even 99. And what aces could he have there? like AT only, i highly doubt hands like A5s. i like a halfpot bet/fold, not many people at nl50 will bluff the river after we fired three streets

yeah, he probably thinks "oh that's a good bluff card for him, I'd better call with JT!" so halfpot is good. 7,5 is good too imo.

River is a 100% bet, wtf.

If its a bet then its at least a $13+ bet IMO, the $7.50 just basically gives his hand away

Or he could just think, oh fuck an Ace, he must have one, I fold with my JT. So I guess it depends if you think he is capable of thinking that this is a good card to bluff and thus look you up. Pretty sure that lot of players at NL50 (not saying majority) would not.

Most people won't do anything about it though. You need to think about what level villain is on, if it's level 1 which is not very uncommon this bet is very good actually.

Larger bet is good vs Level 2 guy who will put you on a bluff a ton. The bet size is very villain dependent here

i haven't played poker in forever so maybe this is bad but i would bet like 18 here and expect to get called by worse pretty often...

if we bet 18 we have to call a shove right?

absolutely not
