dry pot - was this a bluff or value bet?

notice the shorty is AI and it's a dry pot on the river. was he betting for value? or was he bluffing me off the overpair while somehow knowing the shorty didnt have a better hand (like a flush) and knowing that i didnt have it.

I would have folded, too. But i don`t like flop call.

Next time leave out the results..

I would have called this bet anyways, he's clearly using his stack + the diamond card to push you out of the pot. If he wanted value he could have bet less since you dont even have that stack..

But then again.. depends on his history

calling this is horrible. there is little motivation for pushing me out of the pot, hence the concept of a "dry pot". he still has to show his hand down to the shorty and if he loses, that means he risked all those chips for nothing

and yes, i def should have shoved flop

not a fan of anything else, esp. since calling creates the dry sidepot
