55$ NLTRN *s: To vbet or not to vbet
 

Villain is kind of a station. Very loose OOP and kind of a floater postflop.

Am I pushing things here?

Looks fine, if he shoves you need to cry and fold IMO.

Clear value bet and clear value fold if he raises river.

Agree.

I definitely bet the river. I'm not even sure that is the most relevant thing about the river play.

I kind of question the amount of your bet here; does anyone think a slightly smaller bet (180-240) makes more sense? You risk less, it looks a little weaker, and he may be moreinclined to call with a T or an ace that you beat (though that is probably an unlikely holding given the way the hand was played out).
