On river std bet or overbet push (vs 2pair, Ax) could be better?

I guess betting so large on the flop is ok with your strong hand (you have good equity on the Flop)
Your turn size is also ok (now you are thin value betting and half potting makes more sense cos you don't want to isolate yourself only against AX which you are an underdog against).

You want to keep in his worse draws and some 2nd pair type of hands with a smaller bet size.

On the river i guess you can pot it here for max value from 1p hands.

It's hard to know for sure which bet size helps you to maximize your overall EV on the River. But I'm sure that potting it out-performs half potting. Would overbetting be the best? Hard to say without knowing how light he is willing to call down vs overbets.

I think this guy will snap call most AX hands vs a pot size bet so that's what I'll go with.
