Should I have bet on the river?
How about the bet sizes on all betting rounds?

t70 is enough on the flop

turn is good, river is good.

[FF_Woodycooks]

i might even bet smaller on the flop, since not much is gonna raise you except a huge hand.

[BicVicTheQuick]

as Rex mentioned: 3/4 bet on the flop is enough!

Turn is good.

I probably make a defensive bet of 200-300 (or the maximum you want to invest to see the SD) on the river and fold to any raise. This is good if you are planing to call a bet after checking anyway. If you are behind, you loose the same amount but if you are ahead you prevent him from checking behind. At this level you will see guys calling down with any pp lower than J (not trips), any kind of bottom/middle pair, or a week J which they would probably check behind on the river.

As played, the call on the river is ok, given the odds and the way the hand was played

I bet less on flop, 70 or 80. Turn+river I would usually play the same..
