Villain is like 78/18/2.5.
I have a leak because I always seem to miss valuebetting this river...

Looks OK. This one isn't a spot where I want to build a huge pot and I'm not that sure about value-betting the river.

Half pot's good. This guy'll call you with a lot of hands you beat. Against a tighter opponent I'd be more likely to check.

I'd check. Im not sure what kind of hands we bet call you.

I think you MIGHT get a call out of 88-77, but every worse hand than that is folding. Very marginal indeed.

not that marginal of a value bet here, you'll get calls from 77,88, 56, 67, A5, 6x. He's a donk, theres no reason to think your behind, so value bet it.

and reraise preflop

this guy is an idiot he might call with J high.

Meh, this is very thin indeed. You're certainly well ahead of his current range, but not far ahead of his calling range. If he could ever check-raise on a bluff I wouldn't value bet this.
