Stealing a split pot?

River +EV? Villain is quite loose, my 8's are very likely good at the flop.. Should have led the turn instead of trying to c/r.. I'm a fish

Read the title.

I don't think it's that bad, at least the river. I definitely would be betting the turn here though.

I don't think i open push 200bb into this pot though. You can bet or even check call.

Villain doesnt have 200BB here, he only has $434 left.

yes.

Not betting the turn here is incredibly fishy, in my opinion. He's almost always checking behind here, why let him? You're also giving him a simple read that you play marginal hands fast, but not monsters. River push is pretty standard, I think.
