Postflop seems fine to me. Kinda a sucky spot to get raised otr (if you were) because our range is pretty capped at QQQ while V can have all boats flushes and straights. Would you really check a flush ott? But still a bet because V might have gotten sticky with TT/JJ and now may not believe you or may have case Q with worse kicker. If I’m worried about getting raised I might bet a little bigger otr to feel more confident about a bet-fold.

Might have 3! a little bigger because OOP and dead money we make by winning pre with a hand that’s hard to play post when we miss. $90?

Just small things. Hand seems well played overall.

preflop raise size is WAAAAY too small. OOP with $60 in the pot before your raise, I'd make it at least $80, maybe $90 total.

As played, flop bet could be smaller closer to $90 seems sufficient. This gives you a cheaper c-bet the times you miss and still want to fire (Like with Ace-broadway with one club, Axcc, Kxcc and others).

As played flop, turn is a rough spot. I would probably fire again on the turn since we don't have a club and can more comfortably fold to more action. I'd much prefer a check with AcQx. I'd fire something like $300 or so and fold to a raise. Probably check/folding river if called since we have stronger hands that can check call river like AA/KK/QQ.

As played turn, river bet seems ok. We might get to the river this way with a lot of air so betting somewhat decently sized makes some sense.

As for what to do if he raises... I dunno. Probably call since we don't have the A? Another iffy spot.

I assume you cover?

Raise more pre to 85/90

a passive player raising the river is going to be a sigh fold, he can even beat a straight so he's either full or has a nut flush.

Looks fine. I am ok with pf sizing, but would probably tend to make it a bit bigger, like 75. Not sure it matters that much though.

I think you can go either way OTT, but I lean towards betting vs a passive player. He's not blowing us off our hand with range advantage.

AP, I think you exploit V and can bomb river to $400+. He has narrowed his range given action, and a this good spot to polarize our sizing and get looked up light. I think you would be surprised how often TT,JJ call here.

I also want max value if he happens to have KQ,QJ since live players hate folding.

Don't like river sizing...I'd go smaller to induce and balance thinner value bets (only vs someone who might attack this size)

Or, more likely I'd go huge...much closer to pot


Also, as said pre is definitely too small.
