Looking for advice on if I got too passive on the turn/river. The board let the flush draws get there, but I feel like I could've gone for some value on the river. Was the check back correct, or did I play this too passively? I think I end up playing turns/rivers too passively because I have a tendency to not fold to raises which costs me money. But not betting is also hurting me over time in missed value. How often are you able to bet/fold the river? Could you give me examples of hands that would bet/fold this runout?

I have faced this so many times vs fish - i understand how you feel

You played fine

flop: I bet pot

turn:

usually i shove turn after betting pot

as played:
i bet small like 1/4 or 1/3 pot nowadays (if i am confused between checking and betting 1/2 pot - i bet something smaller in between)

river:

check is fine given the run out

SB checked twice - fish with straight or flush typically cant keep quiet when they hit - again you can bet small - 1/4 pot

I will be hesitant to bet/fold river with a set on this run out.. i will bet/call

I'd bet river ~1/2 pot

We can bet 18-25bbs otf.

As played, anywhere from 40-60% of the pot is fine for the river. Villian's been timid enough for me to go 22-25bbs

Hello
