Villian is 44/15/5 over 150 hands

I think my flop call was very very bad. Villian had lead into me a couple of times before, but it just seemed to be so weak/tight to be folding here after 3betting pf.

I catch an A on the turn and it's checked to me. I consider betting, but I'm not sure how comfortable I feel betting here after the flop lead. I opt for pot control because I only have TPTK, but intend to call any resonable bet on the river, avoiding any disasterous cards.

So yeah, I kinda snap call the river. Could I have some comments on this hand on all streets. Thanks.

More preflop. Rest is fine IMO.

What do you think I should be raising to pf? I thought my pf bet was fine.

Anything from 8-10 would be my preference. A minor difference from 7 to 8 of course, so it's no biggie, I just thought you undercharged them a bit to see a flop in a relatively big pot.

river should be a easy call against villain right?

I think raising > folding > calling flop .

thoughts?
