No reads on Villain, just 13 hands into session. What are your thoughts ? Re-analyzing this hand, my flop bet looks too weak, i'm thinking 3/4 to pot size is what I should have done. When the ace falls on the turn, should I fire another shell or check as I did ? Tear this hand apart.

Raise more pf, id make it 8-9. Bet near full pot on the flop.

By checking behind on the A, youre pretty much telling villain to take the pot away from you IMO. As played, I think folding the river is probably best, although I could see someone with a Q doing this

This looks fine. I doubt he does this with JJ.

When the turn card hit it kinda froze me, since he just smooth called my flop bet. He may have thought I was just C-betting and called with Ace high or some medium pair, partly why I froze when the Ace fell, I was thinking he possibly had QQ,AQ,A-rag. If I bet the turn, I pretty much have to put my whole stack in with the pot being $25 and $25 left in my stack, i'm either WB/WA. Maybe betting as small as I did on the flop left me without a true sense of where I stood ..

Would a post oak bluff after the ace falls be a good counter to his call on the flop ? Post oak will certainly look like i'm trying to induce a re-raise, (to me it would look like such a puzzling bet into a pot that large) or does the post oak there just look weak?
