BB is 36/31 and doesn't like folding. He instacalled the flop cbet, so I don't think he's terribly strong here.

My questions:
1) Bet sizing on the turn. I'm not sure if this guy is even aware, but I'm playing 20/18, aggressive and cbetting most flops. I am probably firing on this particular card 100% of the time given his quick flop call. How much would you bet?

2) Will a worse hand ever call on the river?

Had to move down after a bad 100nl run, so I'm trying to do more post-session review. Thanks.

1) against a guy who doesn't like folding I prob just check behind turn. You have decent equity and some show down value but I think you lack fold equity. I think taking a free card and avoiding getting blown off a hand is a good move.
2) against this guy i think u can v-bet river comfortably and try and get called by a random King, Queen or possibly other pp like 88-TT depending on how much you like your read.

turn bet is good, still folds out mid pocket pairs and if hes calling with worse draws then its value. Check behind river unless hes a huge retard station that has exactly ksXs

turn raises will often beat one pair hands, so i check behind here.
if he has Kx, take a note and shove next time.

The only hands a nit balances in his range are the nuts, the second nuts, and the third nuts.

i cant imagine people check raising turn then checking back river with a monster very often. Pretty sure people would want to get value here.
