-We get a great flop and our villain seems to have a piece of it. How much do I bet on the river, though? It seems like he would have AJ+, A3, KK. Maybe some weird high card combo that floated like KJ for a busted straight draw or something. I feel like he folds all of those anyways, so do I just bet smaller to get hero called or do I bomb it to look like I’m bluffing?

He had JJ or something like that and could only call 1 bet, that happens. Shouldn't bet small because he probably also takes this line with AJ/AK and they don't fold often.

pre its fine, he has a 3b percentage of zero, which probably means he has a strong hand this time.

like the check on the flop, like the bet on the turn. Turn bet should be a little bit smaller imo, let him call with Ax and Qx and some TT/JJ Type of hands! just something about 40% i would suggest in this hand

It takes 2 to tango ... I can see checking or 'delay' betting 6-8bb on the Flop whereas I would bet 9-11bb on the Turn if I check through the Flop.

You do have position here with very little hope that you can get beat on the River so there's nothing wrong with checking Turn to see if Donks out on the River.

Either way you aren't going to get more than 1 street of value here very often unless V improves somehow or stabs at it.

These hands are much easier to play OOP IMO since you might be able to ch/c a street and then Donk the River for value. GL

I would disagree with this. Sure, you're most likely going to win the hand, but you have the entire deck crushed. I'd much rather flop a straight with 10 8.

it seems super tight, but vs std microstakes nits this is probably fold pre. As played I like your line, on T or higher river you should bet smaller to induce (though I'm not sure how many river bluffraises you will get at nl5)

Yeah I think my river bet sizing is poor. I bet about 1/3 pot on the turn and should have kept the smaller size to get value
