Is that the right line ?

No.

raise more pre like 120.

flop cbet has to be at least 150

turn bet you can make it anywhere from 350 to all the way imo.

river is a terrible card for your hand, if I didnt ship it ott I check like a pussy and possibly fold to a shove, but in a 0.25$ shovament Im never folding there.

ch/f river as played.bigger bets at previous streets.

pre is fine, although I like 3x before antes kick in and 2.2-2.5 after.

flop I go at least 125

turn at least 1/2 pot or c/r if he's floating a lot.

river...wtf is a 95 bet there? asking to induce a big raise, imo. check and call most reasonable bets cause flushes are hard to make and his sizing should give you clues on his strength.

Its a micro tourney, you have to raise more pre, otherwise youll get 6 callers and never know where are you.

If this was a 1000$ tournament, then sure 75 is ok.

Btw I often do river silly small bets when I have monsters to induce shoves, it works great at this level. But you have to have at least 2 pairs to do this.

Why? If you had said make it 3x instead of 2.5x then fine, but making it 4x is ridiculous. We have a very strong hand here, very near the top of our range, but we want to make it look like everything else. So unless you're also going to 4x it with the whole of your CO opening range, you're just developing the habit of a rather obvious sizing tell, a habit which you'll have to spend unnecessary effort 'unlearning' later in your career. It may be less important in a 25c tournament full of dribbling idiots, but once you get even a little bit higher good regs will start to pick up on these things.

Or perhaps you're much to nitty with your opening range from CO, but if you're opening properly here then 4x-ing is a bit too big a raise for the middle and bottom parts of your range.

It's been folded to us in the CO, so there are only three players behind us; I seriously doubt we're getting 6 callers. And for the rest of the hand we will also have positional advantage here on all bar BTN.

Do you play micros trousers? Dont get offended, but it doesnt look like you do.
