I would. Kinda looks like a busted straight draw or a weak top pair hand. I would think you're way ahead of his range.

Yes yes yes, Villain is probably calling with a lot of hands, I get called frequently by stuff like AT and KT in these situations. (then again, my table image is usually crazy.)

You have about $14 left, I would just stick all of that in.

Basic stuff: Reload your stack to $25 pre-hand and add the limper to the size of your preflop raise making it $1.25. Other than that your post-flop bets are fine, setting up the perfect pot size for a river shove. If you started the hand with a full stack, you'd have to bet a little more somewhere.

Don't like shoving the river because I think it scares off a lot of AT/KT type hands, drastic increase in bet size will make villain think river hit you.
I'd bet ~$8 and call a raise. (You'd get raises from AJ/KJ/JT all day, not just boats/trips)

Not on the river. River raise here is about always TJ or better And AJ/KJ aren't in villains range here, no way he is calling two streets with that.

yeah i think you should. not too much, just half the pot or something, and see what happens. i think you're way ahead of his range here, and i really can't put him on JJ, so the river is probably harmless. if he raises you have a tough decicion...

Don't listen to the guy slagging off your bet sizing. All you want to do is make it so that you can get it AI by the river. As soon as the 6 drops you are wayyyyyyyyyyy ahead of him. I'd bet something like 7/8 and pray that he pushes over you.
