50NL - turn semi bluff & river bluff

[Harriet]

Just looking for some feedback on my play in this hand.

Normally i wouldnt have got involved with 23s but hadnt played a hand in ages so just wanted to see a flop.

Vilain seemed to be a solid player ie; wasnt playing too many hands and hadnt done anything unusual so far. I thought my tight table image would work for me in trying the bluff.

1) Should i have tried the semi bluff on the turn?
2) Was it worth it to try and bluff on the river after he called my turn raise; also considering the stack sizes?
3) If so was my bet too small?

I guess villain is reading your flop play. Most players would not check/call a weak flop bet with a made hand, especially on such a drawy board with that many players. Only thing I can guess is that villain realizes this and can't imagine how the 3 or 4 helped you, so he's not giving up his K.

I probably would have given up after my turn bet was called. Either that, or bet between $15 and $20 on the river and pray.

Preflop is fine, i always complete this.
Flop is standard.
His turnbet gives you good odds, so just call. A strong hand would be hard to believe for your oppenents due to your flopcall.
Your riverbet is much too low, with a K or J he will call you mostly.

will he fold TP? DO yu think he has paid attention to your tight play? If i was gonna make this move i would do it in a pot thats not multi way, also for it to work you need to re-raise flop and then you can either C/R or lead turn

lol...the turn was so cheap, why didn't you just call? it's not a terrible play on the turn since you just picked up a ton of outs (2p's, trips, etc.) but your outs could be dead to JK (really poorly played).

i would have just called turn and c/f the river...not a big deal, and on the turn, even without implied odds you would have turned out fine.
