PP 10 + 1, should have bet the turn harder/bet the river? I was trying to draw him into a river bluff, showing the weak play PP players usually do when they are dominated.

You hit a monster, but he had nothing. If you bet he folded. You did the right thing by trying to let him bluff at it, it's just unfourtunate that he had nothing while you had a monster...

Ooops I didn't mean to show the results. Let's just assume you didn't know he had nothing :-).

No. You need to bet the river.

The turn bet is abysmal. If you want him to play back at you bet 1/3-1/2 of the pot. There's no draw on the flop by the way (After he calls your bet) which probably means he's got some kind of weak 9. Don't assume he's going to bet it, he just wants to get to showdown. Keep betting 1/2-1/3 and hope he plays back at you (most times he won't).

Betting the absolute minimum on the turn and checking the river makes no sense. He told you he had something on the flop. Make him pay to get to showdown. You played this hand horribly. There is no reason to think he's going to bet the river. God. Gross.

I don't think you could have made a lot more money, but ....

I'd bet 75 on the turn. It looks pretty weak to just bet the same as you did on the flop and you might well get a call.

Having bet 15 on the turn, which is a bit wierd, and then having him raise you to 50, I'd raise him back, but price him in for a draw. There is a flush draw and a straight draw on the board. If he is on one of those draws and misses on the river, you might not get any more chips.

The river really couldn't have helped him, so I don't think you get any chips here. Checking could induce a bluff, but a small bet could induce a bluff and could also be called. I'd bet small and still expect a fold.
