I didn't like the turn card at all so I check behind. Didn't expect to get value from worse hands so tried to induce a bluff on the river.

But looking back at it, the river call just seems horrible.

Should I have 2nd barreled the turn and give up when he calls/raises.
Or, as played, ez river fold?

bet more on the flop, and barrel the turn. you want to charge his draws and get value from weaker Ax.

if you checked back to induce a bluff you should be snapping off this river bet. But dont take this line your loosing value.

Reads would be helpful. In general you should be betting the turn for value, not trying to get fancy and induce bluffs.
