I think betting with so many outs on the flop and turn is pretty standard — correct me if I’m wrong!
Now on the river — two flush draws and the backdoor low have all bricked, which to me suggests a great bluffing spot. Do you agree?
By the way, my stack size is intentionally about half the max.

Your turn bet size might look suspicious to him. Still need to bet something to fold out his un-overpair/3 part of his range I think.

Thanks, I really appreciate the comments.
I’m generally varying my bet sizing between 2/3 and full pot. On the turn I’m more likely to pot for value, but I also bet 2/3 enough that I don’t think it should appear out of line with anything else I’m doing.
Regarding the river — OK, just sanity-checking that my reasoning for bluffing wasn’t spewy. As you may have seen if you clicked through, I ended up bluffing $2.50 into $3.60. I don’t see any reason to bet bigger than that; I can’t imagine busted draws and a pair below tens wanting to call that bet. But I’m not good at bet sizing, so I’m open to reconsidering.
Anyway, he looked me up with AAQ3 with diamonds, which is fine — trips was certainly a small part of his range, especially given that it came in through the back door. Just unlucky that he was so high up in his range.
I don’t think there is a bet here, just because it is O8 and it is very possible that he had a 3. The only chance I think, was to check-raise all-in to represent a nut-house.
But I suck on NLO8, so … (PLO8/FLO8 are my main games)
