25NL - check my line

Villian is 70/5/3.25 over ~50 hands. My flop call sucks, but i didnt feel comfortable raising this scary flop w/ A high,villian tried to trap me minbet/raising several times before. do we bet the river for value and how much do we bet?

no reads. i thought about raising the turn again, but decided to just call to keep the pot as small as possible. when villian continued betting the turn, i didnt feel very strong w/ TPGK either. his riverbet didnt make any sense to me tho.

XTR1000 ???

Hand 1, he looks like he has a straight moreso than a set (althought a set is easily possible), you'd be really missing value if you don't value bet this here. Also, why are you raising the turn so huge, i'd make it 12.

Hand 2 i fold, a draw hit and he just increased his bet size largely. He coulv'e easily had an FD and even if he didn't he's probably beating TP.

1) if my math is right, you have 20 behind and a pot of ~40. Just put it in. If you had a naked K it's an easy check. I think you get called by a worse straight enough to balance those times he has a boat.

2) gotta fold here, his line does NOT look like a bluff (which is pretty much all you beat)

Hand 1 I push. He'll call with a combo draw with Kxc.
Hand 2 I raise (or even push since he's short) turn. Donk-bet on flop -- call raise is usually a draw.
