What bugs me here is that not much bets this river. If V just wants to get me off a draw or weak pair he can bet less here.

Hand 1: Usually fold the turn, seems like he wants a call.
Hand 2: Fine
Hand 3: Your hand is the nuts, run a line that gets more money into the pot.

If this is the case, is a b/f line optimal?

Really? All I really beat is a bluff, or am I missing something?

Yes, against passive players b/f is a great line. Against more aware/aggro folks you can't give up that easily.

Stop stay stupid shit like that about good hands. Just stop please, it's costing you money. It's blind vs blind, ranges should be wider and quite a bit of distrust.

Hand 3 bet the turn and the river and just go ahead and raise 4x preflop. Like Fnord said this is bvb...any Q and a lot of J's are calling the flop. You are way ahead of his range and you need to take him to value town. As played, villain does not put you on KQ since you played it like AK or some other whiffed/weak hand. You should call the river imo.
