Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q

fold, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 9 BB, SB calls 6 BB

Flop: (18 BB, 2 players) 4

SB checks, Hero bets 5.64 BB, SB calls 5.64 BB

River: (47.64 BB, 2 players) 7

How much should would you bet on this river?

I was going to bet half pot on flop like how I normally do, but I watched YouTube videos about betting small on monotone flops and yada yada.

Why did you bet so small on the turn? Not saying it is wrong, but I would have bet something like 20BB to be more or less geometric (2/3 pot turn and then 2/3 pot river). Is it because you want to be able to bet non-flush hands on the turn for a smaller size? There are plenty of lower flushes you can use for betting small on the turn.

Just curious, I have no clue.

I was trying to milk weaker hands. Seems like people love to fold on 4 to a flush turns, but maybe it is my own biases that thinks that and it isn't reality.

The small size looks okay OTT.
Bet 3/4 OTR.

I'd rather go a bigger on the turn so I can jam the river or make him want to jam the turn himself. I'm not trying to get paid by weak hands, and would rather get paid by flushes and sets that a fish/whale is never going to fold.

I think the 1/3 turn bet is fine. But I would go ~80% on the river after the turn sizing as many of his weak flushes won't be calling regardless.

Not sure what our flop bet accomplishes, not to mention that we don't want to fold out worse Ax/Qx combos that will call a bet should we both pair up on a later street.

Ott we start bluffing with sets and should probably size up since we are going to be polarized between those and flushes.

Otr we can go big because villain's range is capped at flushes since sets probably x/r otf

I ended up jamming the river and getting snapped off with 44, ugh!

Turn just loses value, same hands call 1/2 as they do 1/3.
AP-I would bet form 1/2-3/4 pot whatever sizing you think he will call with every flush. When you jam most fish can let god 5h5c type of hand. Turn is main mistake imo.
