Standard. Maybe the river bet is slightly high. You'd have a better chance of getting called by QX hands betting 30BB instead.

Can someone chime in on how far you take your pocket pairs in situations like this?

Are we always floating a cbet in case V gives up on turn? Are we continuing because of the back door straight?

Giving up on brick turn?

1) Pretty dependent upon the board, how high our pair is in relation to the board, our read on villain if we have one, bet size, and our range versus their's.

2a) Absolutely not. I'm not floating most A hi flops and I'm also not floating most K hi flops when there's a decent draw out there.

2b) The back door makes it better when we float but it isn't a requirement.

3) Depends on what you mean. Brick for his range I keep going. If the card is bad for my range but good for his I give up.

Which A/K would you float with a and a T/J ?

What hands would be a brick his range and for my range ?

Thanks for replying !
