Default Too thin vs an unknown? [not joke thread this time]

My HUD stats hadn't come up on this table, so I had less than 10 hands or less, but I don't remember this guy's name like at all. Comments on all streets please. I shoulda bet $23 on turn if I was gonna bet turn so I can have a PSB left on river, I suck at bet-sizing, but other than that, is bet bet bet standard?

seems fine...your river bet size looks like a bluff. i wouldn't mind a blocking bet on the river either.

i think it gets checked behind too often from a mediocre hand, to try and check snap call a bluff from the villain.

I like. His range is mostly a Q or AcX, and I don't think you snap off many bluffs when you check this river, so shove is good for value.

block bet is only good if you want min value

i guess this is true since mediocre worse hands will only call. but if the villain is on the lone A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], do you think he might bluff raise a river blocking bet?

not to mention, a blocking bet might get a call from a mediocre hand from the villain which makes sense given his passive play. on the other hand, villain might call your large river bet, since it looks like the nuts or air. i think the major reason to bet large on the river is if the villain will polarize your range and assume that he has the odds to call with a mediocre hand.

I have no idea, but to assume that they'll raise a river block with the naked A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or that they'll polarize my range is wayyy too nice to an unknown.
