I've got second nut both ways. What to bet?

[Wintermute]

The guy put a very weak bet in on the turn, so I'm 100% sure he does not have you beat both ways, unless he's unbelievably tricky and has a rock-solid read that you will bet the river. I think you have a choice between either potting it or putting in a half-pot value bet. Worst case you're going to chop, best case scoop, and some of the time get 3/4 when he has the same low. The amount to bet depends on how much you want to bet when you'll be bluffing in similar situations--you want to be consistent so as to not tip the opponent off.

Personally I'd pot it.

[Ribbo]

Yeah, pot it and hope he calls with A45

[DyessMan89]

If he has A29T, well thats good for him. You cant play scared here. Pot it.

Maybe it's not clear from my OP, but there are three players at the river. I pretty sure I'm getting at least half the pot, but I'm wondering if betting less than the pot has more value. Maybe I can get an overcall from MP1.

I think you missed the fact that there are two opps. That gives a chance of getting quartered, although I think it gives you an even greater chance to get &gt; 1/2. You also wouldn't mind a 2nd nut to fold if he wishes. I'd pot it for sure.
