All the draws missed, which usually means villains call light. Check/fold river.

Also, I'd rather check/call (or check raise) the turn than bet it. Villain isn't folding any part of his range on that card. While we have a boatload of equity, we're still semi-bluffing a non-folder.

Even though you have a really big draw, you need to realize that you're still semi-bluffing. And even though its a semi-bluff, its still a bluff. And a 2NL, bluffs don't usually do much other than deplete your chip stack. Only time I consider betting this river is if its an ace.

Alright. Thanks. That's something I didn't think of.

C9 has pretty much said it. My advise is to raise to 4x instead of 3x as you're playing a tight range and people will call anyway.

BTW I don't know if you included this just for us or if you think it matters in how you should play the hand. If it was for the latter, it's irrelevant. No one who plays 62/8 has any idea what you're doing.
