Think that T on the river gives no real showdown value and, therefore, I should be bluffing. Decided to check because villain was marked as a rec and I thought it would be really hard to move him out from even a J, and that he still might have some FDs that I could beat.

overbet river. he never has has AK and we have 16 combos of it

Interesting line, what sizing would you choose? 34ishBBs?

perfect sizing on the flop with all your range, but if you want to bet turn, you have to start making a plan now. My first option would be check turn with the intention of c/r and bombing rivers (this means sometimes you see a free river, but when he c/ you lose the ability to bluff rivers and it also means you get him to b/f a lot of crap). Second option is to bomb turn and overbet most rivers. So pot turn, 2x river. As a general rule, when you're overbetting, getting him to fold that extra more % of hands by going 2x instead of 1.5x is worth it more than then extra half pot you invest.

However, this is 2nl so bb might not fold 2p, in which case both lines above are terrible

bet bigger with hands that retain their equity well

what a fookin spot to jam the river.
