Checked to hero. Hero bets $35. BTN and SB fold. BB calls.
Turn: Q

Checked through.
River: K
($125)
BB bets $35. Hero shoves for about $150. BB snap folds.
I think it's close, but my strategy checking back the turn was to pick up a bet sizing tell on the river which I got, as well as because I don't think I have enough fold equity (he might call pair + draw), but might fold a hand like 76s if the river bricks out or in this case is scary.
GG he donked, but I think that 30% sizing is meaningful and tells a lot about how he feels about his hand. Classic Ed Miller "attack weakness avoid strength" spot to shove imo.
