TPTK - pot control or value betting?

[1fineday]

Should Hero check turn here for not building a huge pot or it's better to bet the turn OOP?

Bet the turn. Not sure why you are c/r-ing this river, seems like a bad card to do that on. You went from being passive on the turn with tptk to out of no where being aggressive with it.

I'd like to get an explanation of why you're giving up the lead on this hand. Seems like a normal hand to value bet through to me.

Not many draws to protect against, I think either is fine. Since the standard villain at micro limits is too loose and too passive, I would give the edge to betting the turn, however.

I'd bet about 5 on the turn. I want value from small aces and stubborn 2nd pair type hands.

I think on the river you realized you were good and tried to make up for missed value, but at this point I think you should just call. Min bets on the river are rarely worse 1 pair type hands that you could extract from. I'd call to prevent getting in a horrible spot if he reraised and to see what kind of hand he would play so weirdly.

bet turn, block or c/c river depending on villain
