From a balance perspective this river is a call, as I have to defend pretty wide on the flop, and a lot of pairs on the turn want to bet for protection. Then again, villain seems quite fishy and passive, idk how often they'd take this line as a bluff.
What do you guys think about betting this turn (fairly small) with all our range?I think this accomplishes a few things: 1) We have some hands like 88-JJ (maybe even QQ) that want to protect. 2) We get villain to fold his equity very often. 3) we prevent villain from bluffing river. 4) We disguise our range. The way I've played it is pretty easy to play against as my range on the river is very weak.
Another way would be to never bet the turn I guess? But that would create some other problems.
