What is better: shutting down after cbet or barreling the turn or bet-check-bet line?

I hate a b/c/b line as a bluff as you are looked up soooo much lighter. Giving up here is probably the best way to go as the Q on the turn is not the best card to barrell since it paired the board.

This is okay, seeing as the board is so dry. You're only bluffing off chops and occasionally a hand like 77 66.

Just an FYI:

This is the most common thin value line ever against regs and at higher stakes, and is not true at all, though against clueless players who don't understand cbets and cbet too much, this is sort of okay to think.

yep while I was checking the river I said 66 or 77, and he showed the latter
