The V is 20/17/af2.7/3B:11, 827 hands

I have him marked as red and he's tried to bluff me on number of occasions, and I also like to watch him play if I can because his bluffs are interesting to me.

So, he goes for my bait bet on flop, and turn is an obvious call, but what should we do on river?

To me, this is an interesting hand because he is capable of HUGE bluffs.

PokerStars - $0.50 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 100.72 BB
SB: 100 BB
BB: 197.48 BB
Hero (UTG): 111.66 BB
MP: 78 BB
CO: 108.46 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♥ J♦

Hero raises to 2 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 1 BB

Flop: (4.5 BB, 2 players) J♠ 9♦ 7♣
BB checks, Hero bets 1 BB, BB raises to 4 BB, Hero calls 3 BB

Turn: (12.5 BB, 2 players) 5♦
BB bets 9 BB, Hero calls 9 BB

River: (30.5 BB, 2 players) 7♦
BB checks, Hero bets ? ? BB

Thoughts?

Any idea with what type of hands he takes the initiative? His line doesnt show a lot of strenght so my size on the river would like 50 to 66%. If he is really aggressive i will bet 33% from time to time hoping to induce a bluff

I guess its a close mix between bet or check here otr. I'll bet 2/3 and expect his raise with your read.

Ideal would be A or K flush blocker in his hole cards, imo. For him to step on the gas.

So he is capable to taking the initiative very loose.I will bet 33%-50% on the river. Hoping to induce a bluff.

I like this approach, and use it both for bluffs and value.
It might sound dumb to bet small on bluffs sometimes, but if (or rather when) you get caught it paves the way for bigger payoffs later

Definitetly not a dumb move to bet small when you bluff. We should not bet more than necessary.

Check the river sounds weird with the 2nd best hand possible when you are last to act. Seems like a easy value bet. You could try to induce with a small bet, but otherwise I would go for a more than half pot bet.

Throw em some bait and let em bluff if you've got the bankroll to handle his suckouts. If you don't want to have to face a huge raise, just check behind..simple as that.

Now you've got a full house here against a bluffer. Why would you be afraid of anything? Make a bet you think he will raise, such as 1/4 pot or even 1/3 pot after some thinking..hollywooding...let him realize you have "nothing" and he will jam a huge raise in there quite frequently lol..

Hell..even on this board I would go broke against the tightest player in the world playing 500bb deep.. I'm never folding here.

He could have any 7x hand, 97, 57, any flush, J7, so many worse hands he could have here..99 is even in there...55...ship it!

Hello,

I'm going to leave an opinion, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Your perceived flop range is set, TP, OP, maybe 89, a made hand; From that range, on the river he might want to fold anything that isn't a full house. So with TP and OP what size bet would you make on the river?
What size for Villain to interpret that you are betting those hands and try to push a bluff or value with a Flush runner runner.
