BB is a loose passive old man, borderline station (I've seen him lose multiple mid sized pots so far where he was calling 2 or 3 streets with worse than tpgk).

My image at the table after about 45min since I sat down is super tight, played very few hands and when I have raised pre so far everyone has snap folded.

I think I bet less ott because of my image and also the fact that BB had played the previous hand where I flopped the nut flush and he folded instantly to my 2/3 psb on a blank turn after he lead the flop. I've also seen him call small and medium sized bets in other pots but fold to large ones.

I know I should have bet more on the turn, I think he still calls with 6x and obv any FD or Tx. Given that most of his range is made up of those hands and we likely would have heard from a 5 by now, how much can we bet for thin value on this river?

Bet $40-$50 on the flop.

Your turn sizing is WAYYY too small. This is one of the best possible turn cards for us. No draws were completed, we still have an overpair to the board, etc.

I'd bet around $75-$85.

River, is also a bet.

I would bet $50 otr. That gives Villain 5-1 and we'll see him call with 6x, Tx, low pp and maybe even an A high FD.

Bet the river for value, can get called by a lot worse against described V.

70+ turn.

50/50 I''m checking river/betting small. Torn between his image of OMC and calling all the way down previous hands with Tpgk.

He's old but definitely not an OMC. I described him as almost a station but sometimes scared. Also, to clarify, in the previous hands he didn't beat weak top pairs, I'm not sure what he was calling with.

My image on the other hand is pretty nitty since I'm still sizing up the table and haven't started playing more hands yet.
