A bet of 30-55 looks good, fold if raised. I think its to weak to just check here against an opponent that you think often will call you with any pair in this spot.

Even if he sometimes will c/r-bluff out you of the pot.

Hm, a weak 1/3 potsize bet against this guy is just asking for trouble, no?
When he calls with a worse hand, he makes a small error, if he gets fancy and bluffs you off your hand, because he senses weakness, you make a huge blunder. Not a good deal.

If I'm betting this river against him, which I wouldn't, I think I need to make it at least 1/2. Maybe 2/3 will even look more suspicious to him.

I bet $70 or so on the river. He won't bluff-raise you, and he sounds like he can look you up with pretty much anything.

Against sane players (when I have my usual sane image), I take my free showdown here. Worse hands fold, better hands don't, etc. But some people will call again with 33 so against them you have to bet. Pretty simple really. ;p

The flop bet was just something weird I felt like doing. Most of those guys were either fold or call guys. They very rarely raised and if they were going to fold to a pot bet, they would often fold even to a min-bet. So I thought there was some chance I would steal the whole pot and most of the time I felt like I would get a cheap shot at my two overs + gut shot.

This is the type of thinking this forum could use more of.

I like the thinking in general as I always advocate trying to take a pot down with a well timed, weird looking bet. However, I hate the thinking on that board. I don't see any scenario where you take it down on that flop unless you were against 33 and 55. Generally all you'll do is make a big pot with a bleah hand.

What about the times they have 33 and 55? Or A2 and K4? Or 54 and 32? Or Q2 and Q3?

Are you kdiding me? I've played every stakes from 1cent/2cent to 5/10NL and I've run into maybe 2 or 3 players TOTAL who are capable of checkraising the river on a bluff bcause the value bet looks weak.

How do you know they aren't bluffing if you bet and fold to the raise on the river? just curious.
