Villian is slightly tilted after losing massive pot with a bluff. This is slightly 3-4 hands after that. Hero happy with a $150 winnings was about to leave to beat the long drive home.

Full Ring
Hero on SB with KsKh
Utg +1 raised to $7. 3 callers I raised $25.00 on top. Villain CO called.

$80.00 in pot
FLOP
Ac8c9s

I tanked awhile and checked. He checked too(Should I just Cbet? What bet size should I make here to show?)
I was thinking of check raise him light here if he bets because he is almost always betting with pockets.

Turn
4h.
I sized by chips with a $36 bet. He called.

River
2h

I bet $35 (bet sizing correct here ?) he folded.


1. I would like to know just how much should I bet each street to extract max value if I know I am ahead.

2. By check flop looks weak ? If I check raise his flop bet hoping to make him fold his ace with lower kicker, will this be a good idea ?

3. Is my preflop raise size too strong ? Should I lower it instead to have callers ?

Your post lacks some infos.

- Stack sizes
- Stakes (!)

Anyway, your preflop 3bet is way too small. There's already 28$ + the blinds in the pot. I'd probably raise to at least 40.

This flop is pretty bad for you. Checking or betting in this spot is very villain dependant but given the draws on this board, you should bet at least 60% if you chose to bet. If we follow your read that he likes to bet his pp, it's a good idea to check. Check/raising is awful however as he is going to fold his pp and call with his Ax.

The river bet is not very standard and I'd really prefer to check here unless you are pretty confient that he could call with worse in a 3bet pot.

In general, standard postflop bet sizing is around 60-80%, though betting more in some spots can be a good idea. On the river this is a bit more complicated and you can often bet less as people aren't drawing anymore. For this reason your $35 bet into a $152 pot looks dumb but may be ok if you think villain will call often enough with random hands you beat.

Sorry I missed out. $1/$1

I have roughly around $280 chips. And villain has roughly double my chipstack

If V is betting worse pairs on flop as a bluff, why would you check/raise?
