this was a misclick, I normally half pot it BVB OOP otf except on super wet boards.

Turn: ($28.00, 2 players) 5
Hero bets $28.00, BB calls $28.00

we have a lot of potential semi-bluffs here and on a card that's great for Villain our value range for three streets gets considerably narrower...hence sizing.

River: ($84.00, 2 players) 7
Hero bets $52.00, BB

totally unsure here, so many of my bluffs complete that I want to go smaller but otoh when we rep a narrow value range we should go bigger (?).

thoughts?

Hand 1 - If that's your perceived calling range for villain to your chosen sizing, and all of that range would bet if you checked, shouldn't you go for a c/r?

Hand 2 - Don't love the pot on turn, feel like it's really 5x or air at that point. Now that I got there on river I would just pot again.

Pot otr in both hands....

I am not sure about hand one. Say you have AA -99 would you bet that small.
Hand one is a bet 2/3 bet 2/3 jam

H1:

Really interesting post flop, though I don't think I'd ever play preflop the same with our exact holding. I might do it with 56s which would play the same in similar circumstances. Not that I think the hands have significantly different EV I just think including 53s and similar hands means you're probably including a lot of weak hands in your 3 betting range from oop which seems difficult to play/support.

Post flop I think I'd bet a little bit more like 20 otf, pot the turn, and leaving a small river jam. Either that or x/r river but need to work out sizing on different streets to make it work for bluffs and vb.

H2:
Don't like sizing much on flop and turn. Seems a little big especially when you use them in tandem. Not sure I have a sizing recommendations yet other than that. Might take a closer look and post back.

As played yea I agree big bet otr.
