Straight, do I slow down here?

As usual with the hands I'm stuck with, it's pretty much readless. Only seen villain play about 10 hands, but he's played a lot and hasn't done a ton of betting.

I don't think you gain a lot from a river raise here. I'd just call the river.

I would raise it up once more cuz we're still ahead of KT, KJ, K8, 67, J7, etc.. A set is less likely than one of those mentioned, and his line is just too weird for me to believe him and let his weaker str8 or whatever off the hook.

I like to go one more bet on the river here.

How'd you like to go two more, in case BB 3Bets?

Exactly, I feel fine putting one more bet in, but I think too often I'm putting in two.

Its a bad idea to raise the river. The guy has shown a lot of strength, and unless hes a total retard, likely has the same hand as villain. When he does not, he likely had a set on the turn that filled up. When hero raises the river and is ahead or chops, he will not gain as much as he does when he gets 3bet and loses, since I doubt hero will ever fold this river.
