AKs vs. 3s2h2s board
 

Button is 31/0/2.5, but only over 11 hands.

Holdem No Limit - $1 BB

Button ($119.75)
SB ($11.07)
BB ($103.25) [Hero]
UTG ($70.52)
CO ($96.50)

Hero is BB with Ks, As
Preflop: (5 players, $1.5)
UTG calls $1, CO folds, Button calls $1, SB calls $0.50, Hero raises $5, UTG folds, Button calls $5, SB folds

Flop: 3s, 2h, 2s (2 players, $14)
Hero bets $15, Button calls $15

Turn: 5c (2 players, $44)
Hero bets $16, Button calls $16

River: Kd (2 players, $76)
Hero bets $40, Button calls $40 and raises $42.75 and is All-In, Hero calls $26.25 and is All-In

I am pretty new to NL, so my bet amounts are not always optimal.

My intuition on the flop was that button was holding either suited connectors/broadways or pairs 22-99, possibly up to QQ if he was passive enough. Turn bet is a blocking bet/value bet vs. any broadways/weaker flush draws/44/freak straight draws. River is possibly a chip dump- I figured that this guy would be fishy enough to call me with any pp but check behind, so I put out a large bet.. maybe c/c is better?

Thanks, and hi2u NL100!

dont like the turn bet, id rather make a real bet or c/r. dont check this river.

At least $6 pre-flop. As played, there is no point overbetting flop - $12 will do the same job. If you feel villain won't come over the top on the turn, its a good bet. However, with your limited history, I would bet more on the turn.

I like the value bet on the river. 66-QQ are all likely to call behind, but unlikely to bet behind.

so you think there's enough value to put out some serious money on the turn, or what? What's a "real bet" and why would you make it?

i think we have pretty good equity vs his range and this turn is a great spot to semibluff. that small bet looks very much like a draw so if i were to lead again it would be for 30-35ish.
