Second orbit, villian limped in 3 or 4 times last orbit, so he seems loose...didn't play a big hand any of those times...

Any and All advice taken, river value bet here??

I think you played it fine. The king on the river scares me. If you bet the river and he check-raises, you then have to decide if he has KK or AK in the hole. The pot is big enough. I'd hate to get checkraise bluffed out of this one.

So am I moving in on the river, or betting half the pot, or what??

He probably has a flush draw or an ace, and the K probably scares his A, especially if I put in a big bet, so should I bet another 30, enticing him to pay me off??

I think opponent's line looks like a draw here. Maybe as good as KTs . I think I would check here, unhappily, because the kind of hands I can beat would fold, and the kind of hands that would beat me would c/r .

I think your opponent missed his draw and would have folded to any bet. Unless you have a read on your opponent, I think you should check it down and take a decent pot, rather than betting and getting check-raised out of it.

On the river, there is nothing more you could do. If you bet, you either get called by a hand that beats you, or the opponent folds and you win the same amount either way. You think your hand is good. Show it down to take the pot. If you got called, you were probably beat anyways. The big pot is good.

At the $100 Party tables against an unknown this is an easy value bet. In fact, a value bet will induce a check-raise river bluff a not insignificant amount of the time from players who fail to realize that this is the absolute worst board in the entire world for attempting such a play.

Worse two-pair hands will also check-raise here as well. It's sick.
