When I put villains on a mediocre range vs mine, I try take them to value town. Here any over pair here should be scared of a naked 7. I under bet $25 For a multitude of reasons.
A. It's hard to lay down over pairs but it makes it easier to do on a wet board when you are facing losing your entire stack.
B. People still love AA & KK. Putting a mere $25 into an $80 pot is cheap enough to entice them to set hunt / stay in love with their high cards.
C. If cheap enough people will donate money to you just to see your cards. I'll often throw $5 on the turn and river of I have a read that they are drawing dead and know it. If the pot is over $200 and I know they missed their river draw, I'll bet $25 just to get something extra out of them. It works a lot imo.
