Turn A
Both check
River K
v checks hero bets $55
Thoughts?
I figured v would have any pair otf and check call my bets to showdown. After my c bet didn't win on the flop I took a free river and either value bet a 5 or bluff k or 10 river cards and fold/ check anything else.
After a few limpers I'm much more for simply overlimping, but our raise did get this HU in position with initiative against a passive fit/folder, so result is fine.
I'm also cbetting the flop, protecting my equity against A high hands and possibly trying to get a better hand (like 66) to fold.
Turn is weird cuz A completes some obvious two pairs and OESD, but also makes it harder for something like Jx or stubborn 66 to call. Lotta high pairs also have gutshot, not sure if they're folding. I lean to just giving up here.
Since I highly doubt we have much showdown value at this point, I don't mind our bluff attempt on the river, although I probably size it a little smaller so that it looks valuey and doesn't have to work as often to be profitable.
