Villain just sat down and I've seen very little of him.

Upon reflection C-bet needs to be much bigger.

I checked back turn because I had no idea what I was going to do vs a check raise, and I felt that there were a lot of hands that probably could only call two streets that villain had (Weaker Ax, Underpairs to the Ace, Etc).

Once he checks river I feel like it's super likely I've got the best hand, but he's probably also got a weakish range, I definitely should have bet slightly bigger here, but would like some opinions and thoughts on the Bet flop, Check Turn, Bet River line here.

2.60 pre flop is good bet turn

Bet/gii turn .. really easy

Edit: flop is good

Bet turn

bet that turn ... you played like vilian have just sets otf . bet turn if he x/r call and try to improve

A tad bigger pre.

Flop can go either way really.

def bet turn

As in flop can go either way check or bet, or flop sizing can be different?

And in the first case what's the difference between check flop and bet turn and river versus bet flop, check turn, bet river (or possibly call/raise)?

As said definitely bet that turn. Not many hands on villain and we can't assume villain has just sets. If he had a set it's likely you would have heard about it on the flop with that texture. If villain calls turn bet, I think due to stack sizes we are shoving to extract value from weaker aces.

What what what? We really 4.3x our 3bets? If anything I 3bet smaller, probably $1.80.

As played flop looks perfect. Bet around $6-$7 on turn and shove river.

Betting 50-60% pot is pretty standard in 3 bet pots and sets you up for a nice half-pot sized shove on the river against 100bb eff stacks.

We're squeezing pre though, not just a standard raise then 3bet.

Also, villain called river and showed up with two black Tens if anyone is interested in results.

Silly me, missed that.

Pre: in position i think 4x squeeze is very standard, wouldnt hurt to add a bb though.

Flop: i think cbetting is fairly standard

Turn: this is the most controversial street for me. i dont mind betting or checking. given you have the Ks blocker I dont hate checking to be honest as you block some of his draws. without the Ks in our hand i would be betting turn for protection/value. only 6 hands on villain but given he hasnt raised yet and the preflop action im leaning towards him being a fishier player which means he can def call again with his gutters and other weak hands.

River: given how the hand played out i think youre correct that his range is mostly weak hands therefore i like a small bet. i think anywhere from 4-6$ is fine to get value from 8x, 9x, TT-QQ that might fold to a bigger bet

Definitely have to be betting that turn 1) for value and 2) if he is drawing to a flush you need to make him pay for it through the nose.
Also agree with you the c bet could be bigger I'd be heading more to towards 4.50 but tbh honest I don't think it's a big deal.
