I don't think he's trapping. Chasing seems more likely in this scenario. Any idea on his range?

[shymijo2love4]

He showed a 45 for a straight A to 5.

just to begin, you're thinking in the wrong way. The question you should be asking is, "should I be betting this river," not "should I have bet it", which implies a level of results orientation.

Don't worry about what he had, worry about what range of hands you put him on, and how to play against that range.

bet more on the flop, why the overbet on the turn?? and yea im betin here on the river...Im basically lookin to get AI on all streets here if possible.

Betting river is fine; BB doesn't have a PSB left. Also bet more on flop.
