Should I Have Shoved This River?

He was a little donkish but he wasn't one to check raise often. I wanted to shove the river but for some reason I didn't.Turn bet sizing is a little wonky. BB was a 63/17 so I was attempting to get in a pot with him heads up preflop. Thoughts?

Check the turn there like always. That 7 isn't a card that is going to make him fold and you can draw for free to the nuts. I think the sizing of your river bet is pretty good, it's unrealistic that he has a huge hand here either, and if he has set+ he's going to be shoving most of the time. Try and get value from something like AJ, KJ, KQ etc imo.

I feel like his small river bet means he's trying to value bet you but he's scared of the A or thinks you'll be scared of the A. I like your sizing.Mark

If villain's ever "testing" you by calling with worse than top pair on the flop, a turn bet's fine. I also appreciate that you feel he's unlikely to check-raise. That's an important note for deciding to bet. As for shoving the river, I wouldn't worry too much. I mean, you may be able to go to like $20 or something.

Thanks guys, he snap called with KJ and I felt like I missed value. I know he's paying me with AJ, KJ, AK, 44, JJ, KK and maybe even hands AQ/AT. I think his 3-bet stat was 0% over the 100 hands so it's conceivable that he doesn't 3-bet me preflop with any of these hands.
