Questions: I am trying hard to think of ways to play big pairs best rather than just mindless bet bet bet. Flop check OK?
If I lead turn am I also leading river? C/raise any point in hand? Sizing if I lead turn and river? 1/2 pot?
Vil is a young guy with headphones who I see often grinding. I assume he is aggressive.

Hero checks Vil checks I feel like pot controlling here out of position. My hand is very under represented. Betting and getting c/raised here would put me in a bad spot.

Hero checks. Vil bets $35 Hero calls. I had an inkling here to raise river. The bet sizing and bets seem like a 1 pair hand like KQ, AQ etc. Too ambitious?
