    Bet 1/2 pot. I think there's more value here.

    not a big fan of the river card, I'd check behind or bet a 1/3-1/2 pot as a blocking bet.

    I agree. They usaully bet here w/ two pair or better after calling you down. 1/2 pot is enticing enough for this type of player to call w/ Ax.

    I dont know if i like this bet on the river all that much. TPMK on a 3 broadway, draw heavy board doesnt seem like it will add too much value. What happens when you are check/minraised?

    For those who enjoy bizarre results :

    I bet pot (155$) Villain calls shows "slowplayed"??? bottom 2 pair on two-tone, draw-heavy flop (68o). lol.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    You got played playa - lol. That's the reason I usually bet 1/2 pot with these guys. They'll call with worse and usually raise with better. I guess all the high cards scared him from leading or raising the river but he was still comfortable calling full pot with bottom two.
