1. Bet more on the turn.. closer to 3.
2. Def value bet this river. Theres no way he shows up with a 5 here unless he had J5 which would still be stupid.

Like you said yourself, bet the river

A is also a scare card for villain, but they look very weak passive and would prob just have swore a few times before calling $3.5-4.5 on the river. You really need to extract the most from your sets, they're pretty hard to come by lol. A isn't really scary for you...UTG+1 raised.. only A5/55 would be particularly realistic given action

Your flop raise could have been bigger. Your turn raise could have been bigger. Obviously you needed to bet the river.

Summary: You hit a set against an overpair and only won 38 BB. That is not good.

Bet more on the turn and bet the river. He seems to be scared of a straight as he's checked both streets. As above you could've squeezed more money out of the other guy.

Raise more on flop, bet more on the turn, i bet $6 on river hoping he has an ace or senses a bluff

[corsakh]

Bet more on the turn. You have absolutely no reason to think he has a 5 so just value bet river.

[Fiksdal]

Slightly bigger bet sizing would be optimal, otherwise your line on the first streets is fine. I shove river.

0.75 rake.. JESUS! Thats a rip off.
