X hero bets 225?
Is this a reasonable play? Or should I bet a bit smaller?
I don’t see why you’re overbetting the river. Trying to target a K. $225 might scare V. I would have went $125 and try to get V with a K to crying call for a chop.
I would of bet small on turn to target Kx hands and pocket pairs with a spade.
On river shove is fine I can see a lot of villains with a Kx hand calling thinking its going to be a chop. Shoving river also puts a lot of pressure on lower fullhouses that could fold to your bluffs
I think the flop bet is a little too small given the multiway action and what that does to our cebtting range. I would bet just slightly larger like 50ish. Probably not a huge deal as your bet is almost half pot.
As played I think b/f the turn would be fine and river sizing is probably w/e with 1 player in. If you had 2 I'd probably size down for a number of reasons but with 1 opponent I don't see any issues with going max other than what bluffs you have and what you'd be trying to get to fold.
I think debating bluffs might be an interesting exercise just to see what blocking effects if any matter.
I would avoid a riveted boat, as the rivet holes are just leaks waiting to happen. Go with a welded boat, or a unibody construction. It's worth the extra cost.
Auto-correct title jokes aside, I think the river bet is fine. It's a clear Zeebo Theorem spot. Almost no smaller boats will be able to fold, and some flushes might even level themselves into "why so much?"
I absolutely hate the tiny flop bet, though. LLSNL Vs are huge non-believers on paired boards, and will overpay like crazy with all kinds of pairs and FDs. Get value!
River 130 is probably more standard. And will get looked up by more hands you want to look you up. As played seems cool too but you will fold out JJ TT type hands.

I have no problem with your flop bet. It's big enough to charge draws and get value from worse, but not so big you only get called by fds and 5s. This flop could potentially be all over the blind ranges, especially after a call. (Esp the bb who'll call a little looser. And a lot of low limit players think the extra money gives them license to call from sb.)
