I don't like your bet sizing, especially on the river.

can you be more specific?

His range for calling 185 is basically the same as 124, but he will never raise 185 with a slowplayed 'monster' like KJ or AJ, while he will do sometimes with 124.

I agree 100% and was going to make a similar post. If you bet you probably have to bet/fold, but a 2/3 pot bet will sometimes be raised by a worse hand for value although will still usually be ahead of us to make calling the raise incorrect. A bigger bet is less likely to be raised by his entire range, which is a good thing since we're almost always crushed when he raises, and it's unlikely he will raise a near psb on the river with a worse hand.

I must be missing something here...his hand will not magically change with the amount I bet, so why is it bad when the smaller bet will induce raises from hands I have beat? I know that's exactly what happened and it's a tough spot, but this guy is much more likely to do something stupid given the maneuverability of 124 as opposed to 180. Aaaaaand he calls 124 with a ten or 88 sometimes, prob not 180.
