I thought he probably had a decently strong pocket pair. Did I play this correctly or not?

why are you bombing the river which will make the few Tx hands that might call fold?

^that, half pot or x/c a fair bet seems ok.

Bet river smaller like half pot and fold if you are getting raised, rest seems fine.

Your R/B/B/B line is fine. Just think about what your bet sizing accomplishes on each street, ie what hands villain continues with vs what hands fold.

Did villain play this well? Would a raise on the turn make sense?

I am interested why nobody would opt for x/c on the river to bluffcatch Asx type of hands who called for gutshot on the flop and backdoored a flush draw or Ksx who floated the flop and backdoored a flush draw going for thin value? Is this type of thinking wrong in this particular situation?

I understand but if I compare option of x/c the river vs 3 barrel of half the pot I am not sure we get called enough by worse for barreling to be profitable. Just my opinion.

Bet-fold is probably the best line here but a much smaller blocker bet would be better.
