Hi,

First hand I've posted here and wanted some opinions on this river spot. Not sure I made the right play after thinking about it.

Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 12.42 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 15.38, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 72)

I think I'm gonna all in on flop. Pot 5 BB, opponent has 10... Or bet something more, like 3.5-4BB. As played, I fold too

although the hand plays well, you may want to go slightly bigger pre flop. I'd go 2.2 to 2.5.

on the flop, you have to make it bigger as the previous poster suggested. while cbet shoving does seem a little over, I'd still prefer it over your size. 60-70% would be ideal IMO.

OTT SPR is almost 1:1. I think shoving is good here, considering all the combo draws villain can have.

as played, I like the river fold.

Thanks for the feedback. Looking back I definitely think bigger bets on flop and turn are called for here, which would be my standard play, but in this particular spot was looking for max value from his pairs as I had seen him call 3 streets with just a pair before.
