I thought about checking the turn when I saw the hand, but then figured the turnbet was going to get called by loads of worse/drawing hands, and I figured it was likely Hero was still ahead.

Would it be smarter to C/C the turn? Or a smaller valuebet on the river?

Well colours are messed up, but U get the idea.

I think all your betsizes are a little too small. I play it the same though betting more on all 3 streets.

Bet more preflop, on the flop and on the turn. I might c/c the river unless villain is a calling station. There are a few busted straight draws out there. But just as many have come in by the river.

I agree with the betsizes preflop and turn, but bet more on the flop? $1,50 in a $2, what's wrong with that?

This is my standard bet here, so please, why make it $1,75-$2?

[Genz]

value

LOL kinda figured that /images/graemlins/wink.gif but if I make my standard bet $1,75 here, I also have to pick up more pots to stay EV+ at CBing (or at least to make the same or more profit from it). Since I don't think there's that much of a difference between calling an $1,50 bet and a $1,75 bet for villain, I always figured making a 3/4 pot bet would be sufficient.

Why would I change the amount? I wonder, would I make more profit by keeping the 1,50 and miss like 10% value in the end with big hands, or hitting it up to $1,75 for extra value, but I will pick up less EV with CBing...

Anyone has stats on those kind of numbers?

[Genz]

meh. It doesn't really matter. And it doesn't hurt to be consistent with your bet sizing so that people can't read if you are cbetting or value-betting. If that is your standard bet size it's ok. I always vary my bets a little so that I can bet more when I want value or good fold equity without giving my hand away. The flop play isn't bad.

Edit to add: it's 1BB more or less. And that can have an impact on your winrate on the long run. You want to extract the most with your winning hands.
