Just wondered if I could have got more value from this hand? It looks exactly like it is. If I'd raised to $12-13 and both called I'd have got about as going all in and getting one call.

MP looks like a reg (18 hands)
BTN is the only hand I have on him

Poker Stars, $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #34381881

BTN: $29.19 (116.8 bb)
SB: $35.33 (141.3 bb)
Hero (BB): $25 (100 bb)
UTG: $28.11 (112.4 bb)
MP: $54.29 (217.2 bb)
CO: $12.94 (51.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7

UTG folds, MP raises to $0.75, CO folds, BTN calls $0.75, SB folds, Hero calls $0.50

Flop: ($2.35) 7

(3 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $1.49, BTN calls $1.49, Hero calls $1.49

Turn: ($6.82) 6

(3 players)
Hero checks, MP checks, BTN checks

River: ($6.82) 2

(3 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $3, BTN calls $3, Hero raises to $22.76 and is all-in, 2 folds

Ya the river shove was too big. They cannot call aces here.

Bet more on the flop, closer to 80-90%. You will still keep any Aces. Then this builds your pot exponentially.

With the pot built earlier, your shove will be closer to 2-1.

I didn't want to raise the flop as it was so dry.

I didn't lead as I was quite sure I'd get a Cbet as it was a dry A high flop but I guess they couldnt fold an A when donked too.

I was thinking at the time to check raise the river to $11.

Trust me check raise the flop AK, AQ, AJ, and worse does not fold here if nobody has one of those hands you aren't getting paid anyway. The problem with calling is exactly what happened the turn gets checked around. Even if they both fold its good for your image and the next time you 3bet or check-raise they're more likely to look you up.

Pre is good
Flop is good
Turn is good
Bet river yourself

I personally would go with Brokenstars line, not sure how good donking turn is as that looks so strong on a board this dry. Probably can get more value from x/call turn donk river.

And I think xr flop is not very good as many of the hands 2high mention will have a hard time callig..especially worse than those.

If you are scared turn will check through (though not too many cards that will improve villains ranges to beat us, but they might stack a 2pair) you can donk as previously stated.

I like 9 or 10. It makes one of them calling close to the odds against our perceived range (they still lose)

But betting river is superior, countless times both checked and showed their A9 down

Although I feel like there might be merits towards x/r the flop. It just makes no sense and most people fear getting bluffed / owned in spots like this.

Your line is good. I think your sizing is also "good" but probably not optimal, so go ahead and give them a bit of rope to call by x/r smaller.
