25NL: AJ flops boat

[Bowlboy]

66/7/2 is villain.
Looking for the best sized river bet here for full value. I definitely want a call, but I want to bet the most that I can get away with. Given the action what range of hands does villain have and can I shove here against most of that range or should I just make a PSB or such?

Flop needs to be a little bigger. Raise up the turn, he's a calling station and to villain the turn card changes nothing. Build up the pot so you can get most of it on the river. He will not let go of any J or A. You can probably get like 9-10 in on the river as played but IMO you could easily stack him if you built up the pot a bit more.

As played I would bet $12 on the river and expect a call. You should have bet like $5 on the turn since he showed strength with the flop minraise. You want to get as much money into this pot as possible.

I really played flop and turn like a donkey. Got caught up in hoping villain does'nt fold. Should have just realized he had a hand and build the pot. Thanks.

Stop min-raising and this hand plays out easily.

As played, bet around $10 on the river.
