Hi,
1$/1$ game.
Hero ~120$
Villain ~175$. College kid.
History : last hand , hero raised AT straddled pot and villain defends straddle. Flop QTT r. Hero bet little smaller than half pot and villain check raised with J8s. Hero flats. Turn 9d .R Kd. Villain won with straight flush when hero check called river.( I played it badly. Should have re raised flop or atleast bet turn). Villain didn't know I had trips.
Hero KhKd raises to 12$ after 1 limpers. Folds around to villain who calls from BTN.
Flop (25$) three low cards ( all hearts) hero bets 13$. Villain raises to 30$. Hero flats.
Turn ( 85$) As. Check check. [ I didn't bet because I thought he could have Ad. ].
River (85$). Blank. Hero checks thinking about check calling any bet and also to induce a bet from villain. Villain checks it back. Hero wins.
How should I have played this hand? Should I have re raised flop ? Ship flop?
My plan was to ship turn considering I has less than pot left. But As scared me and I leveled myself thinking I could only get called by an A here or some flopped flush which he hit with his suited connector.
Advice please. Hero is just learning bet sizing
