River Decision ($11)
 

Villian is unknown other than sharkscope stats stating that he is a fish. Immediately after calling the flop bet I thought that I made a mistake by not raising but think the rest is ok. Turn bet could be more. Let me know your thoughts.

Unless SB is betting his OESD PF, he's got a 10. Otherwise, he's hit his straight anyway. Fold the flop IMO.

I would bet 300 on the flop, turn looks good.

Re: River Decision ($11)
 

with the player betting out in 1st position i feel like he has a 10 with mediocre kicker. since it was just a minibet on the flop id prob call but check the turn when the 10 came up. rarely at the $11 level will a player bet out when he hit trips so the check turn and see what he does on the river.

Re: River Decision ($11)
 

I wouldn't raise the flop, it seems like a kind of "for information" move I'm not keen on.

On the turn, we hit a really good card but I'm checking, looking to get to showdown.

As played, river is an easy fold, his range has you crushed.

Re: River Decision ($11)
 

what is the function of the turn bet? People never people you made trips when the board pairs and you take turn impetus, not to mention the player behind you. you have a lot of showdown value but not enough value to play any type of pot for stacks. i like checking behind.

I don't know how you can call the river.
