10nl: TPTK bet sizing
 

Villain was standard 10nl 1st level thinker, weak passive etc. I put him on a weaker J or NFD, and I feel like I missed out on a dollar or two on the river here. I think one of my major leaks is bet sizing when I value bet; how is my bet sizing throughout this hand?

I think your bet sizing is fine in this hand. You could consider a raise on the flop. and then check behind the river.

It looks to me fine, OK I may have bet $4 on the river, but really dont beat yourself up about it

Re: 10nl: TPTK bet sizing
 

yes i agree, there is some room to make some extra money.

Flop - raise it up

Turn - $3 bet

River - $5 value bet

Pretty standard, If the villain is on a draw he is not calling the river no matter what you bet here, and I may have value bet a little more here on the river, but this is one of the hardest things I find to do at NL10, because of the wide range of hands that villains can show up with on the river.

I was considering a raise on the flop but thought it might be best to let him bet another street which he decided he wasn't interested in doing. I see what you're saying though; KJ and QJ are 100% calling a raise here. Thanks for the responses guys.
