Seems fine to me, I'm 1000000% in agreement with the river check behind. Flop smooth call to play a small one seems good.

bet river if you like money.

Yah but keep it small enough that he can call with weaker hands. ~ $450 should do. More and you risk folding out all weaker hands which entirely defeats the purpose (other than avoiding a showdown) of value-betting.

I usually bet pot. I basically believe if he's going to look me up, he's going to look me up. Bonus if he folds a better hand.

id mebbe bluff river. whats he think u are calling his turn pot w? Ahxxxh w/ no straight draw?

Re: 10/20 PLO 200bb bottom set..
 

On the flop you're behind to a flush and straight combo draw, but with one opponent you're unlucky if he has both. I'm repotting flop, potting turn.

Re: 10/20 PLO 200bb bottom set..
 

You've gotta pot that flop, there are so few hands that are ahead of you that it is very unlikely your opponent is ahead of you in a heads up pot in a 3 handed game. By not potting the flop/turn you not only give him a chance to draw cheaply, but you miss your best chance to get a lot of money in the pot. If your opponent has two pair or something, and a flush or straight card comes on turn/river, he's not going to be willing to put much if any more money in the pot at that point.

Also there is nothing wrong with value betting the river, because if you get re-raised you can always fold, but chances are better that you are ahead and will get a call with a value bet.

I probably pot the turn, and pot the river, and I wouldnt' consider the river bet a bluff.

This hand is more about your hand is most probably good, and there is a big range of hands that can call you, most of which are behind 77 (with KQ consisting a big chunk of that range)

If you can't find it in your heart to agree with the last statement, you have no business raising with 8775 preflop.
