and, I don't think your bet-size represents thin value much so you're really repping quite a narrow range, I kinda like 275, I think it carries the same FE and actually appears to widen your value-betting range.

With what hands in my range could I be going for thin value on this board?

[bigspenda73]

I would consider 89s thin here, so every hand better than that which is conceivably in your flat-calling range.

However, the more I think about it, I really don't like this as you checked back the flop, so to me it's very hard for you to have AXss, I doubt you're betting AQ/AJ on the turn, so you're really only repping bd hearts on the river, so I don't like any bet-size.

I would usually bet the flop then check the turn if they both called.

But I think he will need two pair or the BD flush to call so I like river.
