Is this even a tough decision? (I don\'t know anymore)
 

Villain in the hand is 50/0/1 after 50 hands. I was very unhappy about the river, but felt that I might have induced a bluff, or a value bet if he put me on missed overs. I hate this.

[i][b]How's my play preflop? Flop? Turn? Any thoughts on the river?

So, not a tough decision.

Looks fine. Call the river.

If he's a calling station, bet the turn and value bet river again. But your line is fine too if you think you can induce a bluff, or he'll call a river value bet but not a turn bet (this case is rare though).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't my line as much for pot controlling defense against a set as it is to induce a bluff? Given this, should I have simply put in a PSB on the turn and check folded to future action?

preflop and flop play seem fine, though I think the turn needs to bet into here against someone this loose. The way it was played you have to call the river.

Bet $7 on the turn.
