Your raise on the turn is really small: 88 into a pot of 180.
I think the river is probably a call no matter what but if you make a normal sized 3/4 pot raise (or larger) on the turn the river is easier.
Sorry about forgetting to add the flop betting into the pot.
Yes, the pot should be just about $100 on the turn.
Re my thoughts on the turn: All the people who think that x/raising the turn is bad.
Isn't this one of the best possible turn cards for someone to barrel on?
9T picks up a pair with it's open ended, 67 gets there. 98 turns 2p. There are a lot of other hands that pick up equity against my range esp if I'm just stupid and floating with some overs or something weird. All of those pick up lots of equity against a hand like AJ/KJ and are doing better against an OP now also. I fully expected to get a second barrel out of the flop bettor.
And in addition to all of these hands picking up equity against my perceived range, there are a lot of hands that picked up enough equity that they can stand a check raise when they will be IP on the river. I admit I should have made it a touch bigger, but I didn't have the pot size right in my head at the time (I was thinking the pot was around $90 or so). I forgot to add in the turn bets into my calculation mentally. Likely would have made it $135-$140 or so, and it makes a river shove even easier.
River:
Obviously yeah, I forgot to edit my title. I checked the river and he shoved all in. He had me covered so it was for my effective stack of $265 but I'm not sure that he knew how much I had. My chips were not in even stacks of $100 or so. I didn't even know exactly how much I had until I counted.
Still struggling with trying to give V a good range on the river though. And that's where I'm struggling, why I don't know what is the right thing to do here.
