Reviewing this hand I have no idea why I decided to overbet. Villain was 64/50/10 but its only over 15 hands which isn't a very large sample. I know I picked up equity with the double gutter so I was betting for protection but this probably could have been achieved with a 60-80% pot bet instead. Seems very spewy.

Should I be looking villain up here with top pair? Raised the flop for protection against his overcards and thin value vs 77/88 etc but when he calls the turn C-Bet I had no idea where I was and checked river hoping to just get to showdown.

Bad bluff on the river here? Or do I have fold equity versus his 9's, 88/77 etc?

Here villain is obviously betting very polar and as I was OOP and is was only a SRP I decided to raise polar myself. Not sure if I should actually have a calling range here as the board texture is very dry and I should let villain continue to bet.

When it gets checked to me on the Ace turn should I bet here with my pair + open ended? If I bet small and he calls I could check back river and get to showdown. Or should I just check like I did and hope to get to showdown?

Lastly I'm wondering if it's right to call my stack of here with such a wet dynamic board? In 5nl you do gets lots of players doing this with 7x,Qx and two hearts, as well as their QQ+.
