Am I supposed to give up always here? I saw one profitable reg 25nl (10bb/100bb still jamming rivers when missed

how bad it is? I am in insane downswing for me currently not sure what to do. Feels like every spot is going ****.

i dont like the turn sizing, either go small which means you can bet Qx still or go bigger with overpair+

river is best to x since you do win a small percentage of the time when he x behind

flop bet is fine. Turn is basically a pure check though. Your entire range should only bet a fraction of a percent. AP river is a pure check fold with your exact combo. Generally speaking OOP player is not allowed to bet a lot on paired boards even if the have trips if the board pairs on flop or turn but can bet if the board pairs on the river and even then its mostly a check

probably no one said it because its incorrect. i dont really want to be like no you are wrong but we bet the turn about 60% of the time, and with AKss we bet 70% of the time (pretty much AK in general we bet this often). pure give up otr w all ak it looks like though it will check/call some % of the time (never this combo). these broadway boards especially when you use a small sizing otf the defender's range is going to be very wide and stacks are small enough that them having trips just isn't a strategy altering concern. overpairs are still going to be treated as nuts. it looks like strong qx bet the turn and c/c the river

kinda sucks to bet turn if villain can jam worse spade draw, i would check call turn rather, and bet hands that have less SDV
