Appreciate all the feedback I've been getting here lately, it's been super helpful.
1/3 NL. Villain is on my immediate right, has been active and aggressive, seems more than competent. She lost a big pot to a fish getting it all-in OTF with 56s (she raised limpers on the button pre flop) with flopped flush and OESD, rebought, won a bit back since. She seems prone to tilt after getting stacked. She's gunning for the fish, and has been trying to isolate him pre flop.
We've been chatting a bit and friendly.
Hero's image is a bit less nitty than usual. I've won a couple large pots with monsters and my bet sizes have been aggressive.
UTG ($200) limps (he's a calling station). Fish ($200) limps, one more caller. Villain ($400) is in the SB and makes it $15. Hero ($600) has J

. I re-raise to $45. Station calls. Folds to Villain who says, "really?" and gives me this look that I take to mean, "I wasn't just trying to isolate the fish, I actually have a hand here, WTF are you doing?"
She calls. Three players to the flop ($136): A

Villain thinks and checks. I check. UTG station checks.
Turn ($136): J
Villain thinks and checks. Hero bets $75. UTG folds. Villain calls somewhat quickly.
River ($286): 6
Villain checks.
Hero? How much to bet? Villain has just about the pot size left in her stack. If we bet less than all-in, what do we do if villain check-raises?
The old me would have actually considered checking back this river, but the new me knows that every time I fail to value-bet the river, God kills a kitten.
Comments on all street very welcome and appreciated. Thank you!
