I dont agree with you. Im not going to pay to learn about the betting strategy of a recreational player who is playing maybe 1 day a week. We might even never see this guy again. We just made a mistake by betting so big and its hard to fold now. I would bet fold around $40.

We don't know if we made a mistake by betting pot OTR, Imo the mistake is not to have decided what to do if we are raised.

As we get stacked I would bet fold river in similiar spots in the future vs. this player.

This hand by itself tells us nothing about villain's bluff frequency. Even the most bluffy player in the world will sometimes show up with the nuts. Now if we see him pass up on river bluff opportunities and non-nut value raises in the future, then we could conclude that his river raising range is strongly weighted toward nutty hands.

True, but given game dynamics vs. Hero and Villain, I assume Villian will never shove river again as a bluff, maybe I'am way off, but we have to stick to what we actually have seen him do with nutted hands.
