Villain is unknown, seems fishy.

This hand went down right before: UTG opens, villain calls, I squeeze in LP. Going HU to the flop with villain, check/check, he checks turn again I bet and he folds.

Think there are tons of reasons for different sizings here?

From the way this hand was played, I definitely don't mind us betting for value on the river. It doesn't really make sense for villain to have a 4x, 5x hand in his range. Most likely he has 9s, 10s,JJs, or a weaker king. I think valuing around 4,000 would be a solid bet because betting this high looks very bluffy to villain

I like a half sized bet or so here maybe even a little bit less. Timing bets could induce a call with mid PP or so. Value bet river for sure but I would like the bet to be less then half his stack. Fishy player may be more likely to call if its not gonna cost majority of his stack to see. He could also be in there with A2/A3 or some random str8 draw if thats the case a smaller bet leaves the option for him to re steal. obv this isn't most ideal situation but given the way it was played your AK is good alot of the time. I like the smaller bet of the river less then half pot or so. The bigger the bet the more likely he will fold his mid PP

If he's calling the turn idk why he would fold this riv. 4500ish sounds about right, looks like a strong 3rd barrel to get him to fold his weak hands.

1900 otr

1600 otr. Have to let him think there's a chance your trying to get thin value out of a mid one pair type hand. Anything like 4 or 4.5k is way too much, he won't call without a K or better than AK.

2338

Clicking back a few from half pot probably around 1/3 pot. Screams mid pair, lets get thin value around 2200

I'm probably ripping it in with bigger bet otf and t

If you see him as the fishy type, he is never ever going to check river here with something you havent beat, but would go for 1/3 pot size, he calls you with KQ, or middle pairs.

Easyier to get fishes to pay, when they still see they got some stack left if they Loose the pot.
