Why is he betting so small on the river?

To induce a shove / get paid off by a random jack.

I really don't think that was his plan at all. He used to his time bank to count down before calling.

Also, there is no way I'd be pushing a random jack here. If anything AJ would make more sense.

Anyone else? Is the bluff bad because he is passive or can that ever be good because he is nitty in many ways.

I would just shove the turn usually, but as played just fold the river. He appears donkish and donks don't like to fold.

His bet appears to be scared of the ace though... he ended up time banking and calling with KK, *barfs*.

I dont hate his KK line?

But then why didn't he snap call river? His line sucks because he didn't know what he was going to do if I pushed. If the raise to was to induce a push then okay... but clearly it wasn't.
