    Default Bet this river for value?

    Trying to figure out how many combos call a river bet here. In hindsight I like a c-c better here but his bet sizing was pretty small so I am less inclined to put him on a monster and thinking a thin VB may be ok in this spot?

    Let's look at the turn a little closer. He bets again when the flush completes and calls a check raise. Put him on a range here. Also, you appear to have only played 3 hands together so he is readless against you as well. Assuming he has any sort of brain I can't imagine him calling your turn c/r with anything less than two pair. His turn sizing is weirdly small which looks a lot like a medium flush or A2 or A8.

    As played, the river bet is fine I guess but that is only assuming you are ahead on the turn, which I highly doubt you are.

    I'd prefer donking the turn since it looks weird and bluffy with the flush completing and probably gets a call from a lot of Ax or JT QJ hands with a club.
