Villian running 58/4.
Flop and river value betting big against calling station.

When faced with the river bet I considered which hands he could call with on the flop and turn and which I beat.

As a fish I think he'd call with a J or flush draw or weaker ace.
Of that I split the pot vs. a weaker ace, so i folded.

Your line seems good to me, except you need to bet more preflop & on the flop. $0.25 preflop, $0.40ish on the flop.

The river is close. I'd have to poker razor it to see if we should make a thin value bet here, but I think folding's fine if we're checking to him on the river.

Yeah actually flop bet is pretty small with a drawy board, so maybe a bit bigger will stop this. Plus he's a calling station and his range is so wide that a bit bigger bet is probably ok.
Still think folding was ok.

BTW what do you mean by a thin value bet? Kinda like a blocker bet which may be called by 10x or missed straight draws?
If he re-raises I just fold right?

Cheers

I agree. I like a small river bet here for the reasons given. Fold to a raise.
