Thin either way. Make the river a 4c and I fire no problem.

Raise PF, bet the flop. As played easy river value bet, although I might not raise the turn.

You should raise preflop.

Bet any (90%) non raised flop in a SB-BB battle when checked to in BB. So bet this one also.

Raising the turn is strong here, I like it. I wouldn't have done it myself but I think it's better than calling, since a K and JT would have probably bet the flop. Betting the river is a must since nothing really changed with that card.

you think raising is better then calling but you wouldn't do it your self! What would you do then ? Fold ? Please do reply.

I would have just called here in the heat of the battle, but I do think raising is better. That's what I meant.

Rethink. Turn raise was overaggro and skews the river. Villain may be checking a better hand on the river because of turn raise, so to correct for that play check the river though.

You are absolutely right in this case.
Good thinking.

Raise preflop, planning to bet the flop no matter what.

As played, bet the flop.

As played, the turn is okay. I might just call because villain will often fold to your raise but might be inclined to fire again on the river if you just call.

Bet the river.
