What do you put these guys on?

I couldn't believe one guy paid off with K7s... in my mind Hero gets called by 1 hand he beats... AK, which is unlikely based on PF action. I'd be happy to take the free showdown in this spot.

I would push, it confuses the hell out of people. An all in overbet makes people think you have nothing and you are trying to steal the pot, and they are likely to call with a mediocore hand. $100 looks like a value bet and a mediocore K is not calling. Even if I don't push I like your pot sized bet the same, it still looks like a huge bet and it could confuse a K into calling because they would think if you had a big hand you would value bet.

I think a push here is horrible. My hand is just not that strong, and I think against an unknown, I very rarely get called.

This is also because I don't overbet nearly often enough (I think).

whats to explain? hero has the best hand; therefore he should bet.

100 is a nice sum, because top pair which is often out there, will not fold.

I probably fold this preflop, but a call is fine.

Clear valuebet on the river. I go for 90-110 and fold if c/r ..aised.

Just getting to this post for the first time. I think you have an easy bet on the river. But I would have bet the turn.
