Your bet-sizing kinda sucks. I'd generally bet 1.7ish on flop, and (as played) like 4 on the turn. The river is kinda weird because there's no real draws except for the flush draw you had. It could be AJ or AT, but generally this is gonna be two pair or a set and I'd probably let it go.

When an unknown wakes up on the river like this, it's generally not a bluff.

I actually liked my bet-sizing overall this session (lowering my bet sizes) I think my std in flop was $1.50 in this session which I think is fine. I agree 1.25 is the sucks.

I like turn bet because we dont have many draws and hes still making a msitake calling with a draw. Also makes me look a little weaker IMO.

[thac]

But if there's no draws, he's only gonna call with an ace or a set. We beat most aces and he's probably not folding a lot of them so why not get as much value as we can out of them?

This villian was 50/22/3 no idea how i left that out of OP.
I want all his range calling me.

Ugh it makes river so marginal now, do you know what he's taken this line with before?

[ronitonline]

I dont think hes taken this line before vs me, and if he has vs someone else I havent seen it. I was paying attention to a lot of hs hands I wasnt inolved in but never quite caught this line.

[thac]

It just seems like he wants to get paid off and I think he'd c/c with AJ or AT or any other one pair hand. I think you see A9 or 22 a lot here.

[ronitonline]

I don't think he has set that much, he liked raising hands like from what I remember. (flop or turn I mean)

[thac]

It's just such a weird bet. I'm kind of interested in results.
