misread it as villain is the aggro player

this makes the river jam much better, especially with both draws missing he's liable to try to bluff catch here given your image

i'm still fine with checking in hopes of inducing sometimes though

like your sizing a lot, agree that smaller sizing here leaves money on the table

What position are you?

X-r flop; AP, more or less looks fine

If you are early pos K10 off is a fold pre. Cant really tell from your hand history, just mentioning it.

Also i would like a bigger flop bet if were going to bet and not go for a check-raise. On this wet of a flop its myriad of hands villains can continue with, multiple straighdraws,pairs+ draws, flushdraws and whatnot.

Hitting a big valuehand on a board like this with an aggro image is kind of a dream spot, so we should try to maximize it to the fullest.

If you bet river i would go smaller, as i don't think villain has enough hands to call the shove. Maybe 100 - 150.

Checking could be a decent option if villain will bluff.

Agree with thirding the river in general. If you think v is more sticky than normal then shoving is good

Pole, depole?

Seems kinda weird to polarize the turn and depole a brick riv

Why? It gets calls from worse that would fold to a jam and it gives v the opportunity to spazz with missed draws if he thinks we're weak.

Turn isn't an overbet spot in theory or something I would ever use on that turn. But if I did then hopefully I could reign things back in and not compound on a slight mistake on the previous street

At equilibrium, as the preflop opener facing an in-position flat-caller, we should be checking enough of our range that it is only a tiny deviation to check our entire range. The composition of our check-folding, check-raising and check-calling ranges are going to depend on flop texture, but range-checking is surprisingly widely applicable. Here, on this coordinated, two-tone board, our top-two hand is clearly in our check-raising value range. If the villain checks back, we can fire on most turn cards, even the scarier ones, and put the villain in a difficult spot with their pot-controlled second pairs.

Of course, this is not being played at equilibrium, but rather in a LOLive low-stakes game. Deviation is often called for, but we should be clear about what we are exploiting.

Careful players who want to pot-control those pocket pairs are going to check back too much when they would call a bet, and we should bet into them. Aggro players who can fire multiple barrels when called but will fold their air when check-raised should be check-called. People who can't get away from top pair or will pay top dollar on the turn for their drawing hands should be check-raised.

But absent a read, I am going to check with intent to raise with this particular hand.

I usually like to overbet the turn when it’s a super wet board and the turn didn’t complete a draw, and villain is capped from his flop action while I remain uncapped.

What sort of fish is he?

If he's a terrible calling station type of fish then this looks fine. You might get paid off with something like KJ.

That's backwards and a reason you should be shoving.

We have KK,TT,88,KT,J9s, so OB on turn and river is good here in theory. Nice line imo.

I ran a PIO sim, and I was wrong about the "in theory" part. Solver vastly prefers 66% sizing on turn to the 1.3x sizing. It does mix in some overbets on river though.

Betting flop is okay I think. Though, this board does hit BTN caller well, he also has a lot or air like A6o/etc (lol live ranges).
