Crying call or not?

Villain 22/18/1.5 over 73 hands. No other info.

A few questions for this standard situation;
1- Would you b/f or b/c the river?
2a- If you b/f, do you like an other river betsizing?
2b- If you b/c around what odds is your breaking point for b/f-ing?

button raises all in on possible 2 pr or flush the 8$ bet on the river really put u in trouble should of checked imo.

its just that stacks r pretty awkward here, so unless u have a clear idea of whether to make a close b/f here because you're certain villain won't shove anything else than a flush its prolly not worth it to bet here

that said if ure opponent is stationny/bad betting 6-7$ here on riv seems fine

If I bet river it would be to b/f.

I'm betting for a call from KQ/KJ, maybe T9s or some crying call by an underpair/AT or something, although that's not very likely.

I don't expect my opponents at this level to bluff missed draws/turn marginal made hands into bluffs a lot on the river and I do think he'd bet KQ a lot, KJ maybe.

So in my view there's very little difference in villains betting range when checked to or his calling range when facing a bet. The latter could have some crying calls in it and with betting I can controle the betsize.

I'm gritting my teeth and folding KQ here actually

Think you bet a tad too big on the turn and river if you planned to fold to a river raise.

i mean if u chk its obv with the intention of folding... its just that imo KJ/KQ is too small a range to get value from with a bet, and Tx and lower pairs is kinda ridic tooo, he's never calling that

so yeah if ur opp is bad u can get away with betting like 6$ here and folding to a raise i guess
