Flop - Check, check, CO bets 2/3 pot, sb folds, hero calls
Turn brick - check check
River brick

He could be playing pot control with a bad ace or a mid pocket pair, but he also has no pair a decent amount of the time with suited connectors and random broadways.

Do you like a half pot bet here?
Is slightly less than half pot equally effective?
What size bets are you calling in villians position with 88+? with a pair of 7s or worse?

Assuming i was villain on this river, i would call you with second pair here for a half pot bet. I dont think its a bad bet to make some of the time. I would think you would need to make it half pot or more though.



I think calling pf here isnt bad, as long as you are calling with PPs and high cards sometimes too. But if you are going to do that, you have to C/R this flop, as you would with a set, etc.

Yeah lead 1/2-3/5 imo.

And yeah you're getting snapped by 88+ and usually a 7.
