I like the flop bet, but maybe a little bigger since 1/2 pot appears a little weak to me. I play turn and river the same.

spank,
is it because you think he'll fold a J?

OP,
I think I would probably check the river (though given read, there is definitely value imo).

I've started ramping up the aggro, and betting turn against bad players for VALUE. No bad player is folding a jack here, but a lot of bad players won't fold 88-22, overcards, backdoor flush draw, gutshot, etc. Also villain will see you betting turn with basically nothing, and will stack off light the next hand you make a hand against him. I bet about $7 on turn, and check behind on river.

There are some different ways to play this postflop. I generally bet more on the flop, maybe 3.50, and go from there. As played, I think river is a clear valuebet, many players will call there with A-high imo, and I'd be very surprised if you're beat there approximately ever.

I think valuebetting the turn is a bit too thin. I might like it a bit more if the flop was J88, and I would definitely be fine with it if the flop contained a flush draw; in both cases, there are more draws that can be out against you..

looks like i'm getting a lot of different answers, but thanks for the input guys. villain had a 7 at showdown, so it looks like my line worked out, haha. the small flop bet was unintentional, i think i misread the pot when i bet. i kindof like betting river also, although it's kindof tricky to gauge what villain plays this way.

results aren't really necessary. with our position, a 1/2 pot value bet on the river would probably be good since it doesn't put us past our commitment threshold if villain decides to get fancy and checkraise us.
