can we take down the pot without showdown there?

ps. its an FT w/ 40$ for 1st

Fold pre. At a FT given stack sizes + the SB flatted off 13bb and we're facing a 3x open, we shouldn't be defending 75s here.

River bet is iffy, everything missed and we don't really rep anything. Generally speaking, to get our opponent off a made hand or high cards here, we have to make a big (7-9bb) bet to induce him to fold. Personally I just check this river.

I have to be honest. At those stakes, I think most people will not be scared of big bets. It will be much more difficult to bluff.

What did you represent? If the answer is a pair of Jack's you pleyed well... that was a good card to try to bluff because villain show weakness on the turn... bad luck but try to fold that hands preflop

It's hard to bluff on small stakes.
