both villains are really bad. flop is just standard cbet, but would c/f be a better line?

I like the flop bet, but maybe a little bigger since 1/2 pot appears a little weak to me. I play turn and river the same.

Ha,
I usually two barrel here. Is that spew?

[mookboi]

I like it.

spank,
is it because you think he'll fold a J?

OP,
I think I would probably check the river (though given read, there is definitely value imo).

[Spanky1974]

I've started ramping up the aggro, and betting turn against bad players for VALUE. No bad player is folding a jack here, but a lot of bad players won't fold 88-22, overcards, backdoor flush draw, gutshot, etc. Also villain will see you betting turn with basically nothing, and will stack off light the next hand you make a hand against him. I bet about $7 on turn, and check behind on river.

There are some different ways to play this postflop. I generally bet more on the flop, maybe 3.50, and go from there. As played, I think river is a clear valuebet, many players will call there with A-high imo, and I'd be very surprised if you're beat there approximately ever.

I think valuebetting the turn is a bit too thin. I might like it a bit more if the flop was J88, and I would definitely be fine with it if the flop contained a flush draw; in both cases, there are more draws that can be out against you..

looks like i'm getting a lot of different answers, but thanks for the input guys. villain had a 7 at showdown, so it looks like my line worked out, haha. the small flop bet was unintentional, i think i misread the pot when i bet. i kindof like betting river also, although it's kindof tricky to gauge what villain plays this way.

results aren't really necessary. with our position, a 1/2 pot value bet on the river would probably be good since it doesn't put us past our commitment threshold if villain decides to get fancy and checkraise us.
