Bet bigger on the flop; .15

Turn is close between a bet and a check back, at 2nl I'd pretty happily side with the bet though. Again, bigger, he has a wide calling range.

River is a pretty clear bet/fold, agreed.

I see limited value in betting the river. As played, def fold to the raise though.

I didn't want to check back the turn and face a bet on the river cos I'd just be guessing.

If I checked back the turn it'd be with the intention of folding to a river bet on most cards that weren't a J or maybe a Q.

Given board texture, I'd rather bet the turn and check behind OTR. On other boards, I see the value in checking turn behind sometimes and calling off a river bet.

This by far, on the turn his range is still wide enough to include a lot of draws, while there is very limited value in a river bet when his range consists of draws that didn't get there and will c/f or hands that crush us and will c/r. I'm not expecting him to c/c 3 streets with A9 or worse

If I had any info on BB I might check behind, but i thought he might be a fish calling with (although unlikely) 77 or possibly KJ.
