How is my line here? On the river I was debating between a 75%-ish sizing and jamming. All-in made sense to me as I was certain he had no sets or straights by that point and also I had 2 hearts which unblock his bluff-catching hands.

I definetly feel like my pre,flop,turn was accurate. My concern here is that my all-in doesn't make a whole lot of sense after I checked back the turn. Should I have sized down to target more of his Kx/Jx range without spades or hearts or does the all-in achieve effectively the same?

River shove doesn't seem right. I'm not sure what the best size is but I'd bet pot. I'll have to run a sim to find out.

Agree, I don't like it. While knowing the exact spots to overbet may be a weakness in my game, you want to do it in spots where both your betting range and villains calling ranges are going to be very polarized. While you can have the nuts here and villain can't, you also want to be betting a decently wide value range here. KQ+, maybe KT. That's not a range that wants to overbet I don't think. Villains range is also pretty weak. Lots of 1 pair hands. Betting a little under pot makes this a lot tougher for him if he has a hand like KT, QQ, or TT. Overbetting just makes it too easy for him to fold his bluff catchers.

jam feels like we get snapped off by sets (even the 1 combo of JJ left) and it’s hard to find hands we beat that will call. even KQ KT find folds vs a huge overbet.

would prefer much smaller sizing targeting Kx, sticky pairs; 2/3-pot

Thanks for the input boys. That's kind of what I figured especially now looking back at it.
