Bet bigger on flop and I'd check river, the bet is too thin

pre and flop are std.

After his call he has either Ax, FD, or set. You can bet or call depending on your view of his range. If you think he's more likely to be drawing, or will fold A-rag to further aggression, bet. Check is fine, but it seems like you're conceding that he's ahead, and you should probably c/f if you don't bet.

NOW. His check behind tells me he is not sure he's got the best hand. This is important. This means he does not have a set (or he's hella tricky, possibly bad). His range pretty much becomes A-rag and whiffed FD.

Based on that range betting is the worst thing you can do! He will fold worse and call better. Definitely check. Calling is up to you. Against some rando I'd think its +EV, but its really thin with 3 overs out, so c/f is not turrible.

Do you have any stats or reads on MP1?

Preflop I'd make it more, probably 1.75 (4x +1 per limper +1 for being OOP).
On the flop cbet bigger ($2.25-2.50) or don't cbet at all because betting only half pot looks weak and it also doesn't represent much except maybe a flush draw.

If you had AK/AQ in this spot would you only be betting 1/2 pot OOP on a two tone board? Once you give up on the turn I don't think you can represent much on the river so I would probably check/fold.

On second thought, this is better than c/c.

Unless you think he's going to call light with 55-99 on this flop I don't see much point in cbetting (unless his fold to cbet is really high). River is probably a c/f. What do you rep by firing here, but not turn?

Pretty much exactly your hand.


edit: Wait do mean betting flop and not turn, or river and not turn?

no stats had only been playing for about 20 hands. your right i would have bet more if i had AK/AQ. So in this case should I be playing to represent that?
