Villain's stats were 60/11/3, no reads. Just a line check, do you go for the c/r on the turn, or value bet smaller on the river?

I would lead the turn for $6.

Why the river push? Dont you want a call?

I like everything but the river shove. A 1/2 psb on river, is more likely to get a call from worse hands.

what is the point of the river push?

I guess preflop is fine with so many people there.

I like leading the turn. A check-raise seems too much of a monster.

Thing is, I think he has a J here a lot, not a K. So I'd prefer a smaller value bet on the river as well.

Ya, that was pretty marginal. I was hoping he had AK, AJ, or QJ and would commit all his chips. I think I put too much value in the 60 VPIP and thought maybe he would call any bet with a made hand.

most likely only with a deuce, a set, or aces.
river push is _really_ bad. (but ok, youve been told now)

NL50 players, compared to players on lower levels, are somewhat more reluctant to call their stack off on the river with marginal holdings. About 3/5 pot bet could be the most profitable in the long run.

Preflop is kinda meh, but I guess it's ok if villains are loose. River push is not very bad, but I think a 1/2-pot will get more value. Betting 6 on the turn would be absolutely horrible.
