A lot of hands that take this line will be 2X 3X 6X where the X is either 4 or 5 for a gutshot. Since this is a pretty brutal river for those hands I'd be inclined to bet a bit smaller and try to suck them in - probably like 240.Against someone that you know will hero call you in spots like this a big bet might be ok (because this is a great board to triple barrel bluff) but against a player with this description (that is probably turning up with just a low pair here most of the time) I think a tiny bet is optimal.
Thanks man if you bet tiny would you then be calling a shove as well?
I like a bigger bet on the turn, the boards really wet and I think you'll get away with 300 or more. If you're betting small on the river and your opponent shoves i think it comes down to reads. How do you think he'd play his FDs? Is he ever bluffing? Would he ever shove worse for value? But looking at your chipstack on the river you're probably commiited to calling a shove.
