Default 77; is 10/20 for me?

Hands like this where I feel like I have no plan and don't know if I should be putting in more bets or folding make feel like it isn't.

Villain is 34/19/2 over about 700 hands (mostly datamined). I haven't seen him get out of line really, but he's mostly been staying out of the way of my frequent raises to isolate the loose player to my right. He coldcalls more than he 3-bets (that I've observed), and seems to be a mediocre but not awful player. How's my line? How important is showing down in situations like this?

This looks fine to me. Betting the river is also good.

Ok, so force yourself to make a plan. As soon as he 3-bets you put him on a range of hands and start thinking about what you're going to do on different kinds of boards.

Regardless of anything else, planning to showdown if no broadway cards fall seems completely sensible.

Well, I think a bet should go in on the river, but apart from that I don't think you should be looking to put in tons more bets here. Many typical 10/20 players err on the side of aggression, let them bet.

But why would you fold?
