Standard or is a check/call on the river best here to let him maybe bluff a missed draw? <font color="black"> </font>

i think the bet is too big and i think c/call is a better default but there is nothing wrong with a bet, depends on your image and such

im more in the 195-235 camp though

what do you think he is going to call you with...it really looks like his flop raise was designed to see a free river with diamonds...best way to make money here is a c/c for sure

given how thin people raise and bet the river these days, it seems like this guy has T8-AT a good amount here, and i dont think he wants to fold. i think our hand is rarely beat here, and even if he does have a draw or bluff i think that raising is better because it tells him we are going to be raising a lot and makes us harder to play.

c/c, let him bluff his missed draw on the river

[Allinlife]

nobody seems to bluff in that river spot because they know they are gonna get looked up light after they check turn.

thats why i think your bet is fine. cr ai seems too fancy/ i don't think "makes it tougher to play vs us" really justifies it.
