I am tilting hence the raise and call preflop.

Villain seems sane.
I am 75% sure villain has QQ, KK.

Who prefers a 3/4 pot bet?

If you're on tilt, don't play.

If you're gonna play, play wih a full buyin (yes, you need to rebuy).

Your hand is horrible and you're utg, fold.

The CO showed strength, your hand is horrible and you have no position, fold.

If you really wanna bluff, bet the flop (~$8). If he raises, fold.

As played, I have no idea how this can be profitable.

i read the post and agreed with everything the guy said.

i think your read is right, but i also think hes calling with those hands on the river. if the river was a non a, k , or q i would be more apt to bluff.

agreed that preflop is stupid. Now consider the flop check and turn call. I belive that villain has an underpair. Would you give up on river, bet closer to pot, or jam?

also i think the river overbet is unnecessary. 50nl players are thinking "is he bluffing, or does he have it?" they aren't thinking much about the pot odds; they might even read the overbet as weakness. "why would he bet so much if he wanted a call?"

like i said before, i wouldn't bluff here, but if i did i would tend to only bet like 2/3.
