Villain is 14/3/0. I don't think I really know how to play these medium pocket pairs, I feel l throw money away to overcards and resistance.

X behind turn, call a small bet on the river. As played probably just fold.

I agree, the turn should be a check. Once you get called on an A high board from a nit, you're in trouble. Snap fold river. I would check back turn and basically give up. Also, betting pot on that flop is not ideal. What worse is calling you? You're just trying to fold out his equity so you can bet much smaller. If he doesn't have anything he's folding to any sized bet on the flop. No need to go that big.

As played, what was the goal of your turn bet?

^ agree
Flop smaller
X back turn
Snapfold river

If you x turn and he bets river it's likely a fold too vs nit

I like checking flop on this board with our exact hand.

Posters above me have pointed out that turn bet after the cbet isn't ideal so I won't delve into that too much.

As played river seems like a pretty clear fold.

TT seem just a little too vulnerable to me to give a free card but it's borderline. I'd usually check back JJ-KK and bet all other pairs.

Yeah that's fair actually. TT really is just on the fringe here IMO - 99 I'd defs bet and JJ I'd defs check. Personally k feel like TT is just strong enough to warrant checking but that's just me, I could definitely be wrong.

Edit: like the more I think about it, I probably don't have a set plan with TT in this exact spot. Checking vs Cbetting would depend on the villain I think.

Good advice guys, thanks. All makes sense. Would you go 1/2 pot on flop if cbetting?

Off the top of my head.
I'd be checking back against super aggro villains who I think will try and bluff later streets (only if I think they'll bet multiple streets with anything and we can bluff catch two streets instead of betting one street ourselves and only getting 1 street of value from worse or just folds).

Probably always cbetting vs mega stations but I'd have to think about it bit more to give you A more concrete Answer.

+1

You already feel you're beat in the flop and the turn changes nothing. No point putting more money into this pot.

I really like to go for a delayed cbet on this board.
The reason why is because I don't think this specific vilain's gonna call anything worse than Ax OTF, whereas if we bet on the turn he could be more confidant with smaller pairs.
So, for me, the play is: x flop, bet turn, bet (fold to a raise) river.

AP, I'd also go for a smaller cbet size, since we're not cbetting for pure value, we want to take the pot down right away, and if vilain doesn't have the Ace, a smaller cbet will get the job done.
OTT we have to check back, given the read we have on vilain, who's a passive nit.
OTR I'm folding to any considerable sized bet (1/2+ pot).
