Villain does have some 7x in his range here but on such a wet board in position I dont mind a small value bet here to make him call his 109, 108 or bluffraise on his draws.

Some of the time villain will turn over the best hand or make what looks like an uncomfortable reraise but with villain being OOP - he may have to bluff-raise to win the pot but with the check on the river - makes me think he either had a Jx, flush draw or something like J8, 109, so I can see an argument for a small value bet - that being said its dependant on villain here and what kind of player he was. my 2c

I think after betting the turn, checking back is fine on the river. I’d hate folding on the river after a raise so I’d rather just check it. If I didn’t bet the turn, I would value bet the river or flat call opponent’s bet. It really depends on the opponent too.

If the opponent is somewhat competent, I think, its to thin to go for 3 streets of value with our hand on this board. I dont think, he has a 7 very often, but the board is very wet, and we dont even have a great kicker. Which mean, we potentially value own ourselfes against hands like AK or KQ, that went for a check-call on the flop. A lot of the hands, we got value from on the turn, were draws, and he is obviously not calling again with a busted draw. Even if he has a pair+draw type hand like T9s or T8s, he is probably letting it go now, that he failed to improve.

because your T kicker is on the medium side im going for showdown here you already got your 2 streets of value I think that's enough, going for 3rd one is ambitious and no one will call you with worse

I dont mind a small value bet here to make him call his 109, 108 or bluffraise on his draws.

But I was afraid of this "bluffraise" Can i call him here, after he reraise? Even i got more information about him. How often this is only bluff. It's asking for trouble, I think.

I was almost shure that he is behind but still... I have to start play Cash Here, one mistake and game is over.

There aren't many hands that you are ahead of that will call this river. You have showdown value so I would just check behind. Well played.
