I don’t think this bet ever folds out a hand that’s beating you. If it’s a bluff, you’re targeting an *extremely* narrow range—like, exactly AT, KT, JT, T8 or JJ (and those all hands you block with JT!).
So, it’s a very bad bluff. Could it work as a value bet? Well…almost every draw came in, so the likelihood of him calling a 75%-pot bet with 33-88 or Ace-high is extremely low.
It’s just a badly-sized bet. It needs to be much bigger (so it can fold out KK) or much smaller (so it can get called by 77–or at least get you a cheap showdown). Nothing good can happen with a $59 bet!
