I might bet the turn 2/3-pot.

Did you bet the river that small to induce a raise?

Its a vaque valuebet...

yeah, if everyone has checked the turn and to you on the flop then I'm probably betting at the turn to try and chase out any flush draws with that 2s turning up.

I think not leading the flop was wrong though if you are worried about anyone playing like Ax and hitting that flop. You re-raised preflop so they have to put an A in your range, thus if anyone plays back here you can put them on a strong A or if they cold call you can put them on pretty much Awk or an 8.

If you don't though and now you lead at the turn you can't be sure if they are staying along because they have an A or the flush draw, which makes a river decision a lot harder.

I think UTG+1 is going to show you an A with that min-c/r (and no way could you not call it) purely because the play to then has been so weak he would have to put your bet as a steal attempt.

either bet the flop or check behind on the river.
Your value is the 20odd bbs in the pot at showdown before you bet

standard. if he has an A (or any other hand that beats you), he played it horribly
