    By shipping river?

    Sometimes it's just not realistically possible to get it all in by the river and you might end up isolating the part of villains range that beats you if you try too hard to get it in by the river. We can pot/pot/ship where river bet will be about pot-sized but then the problem with doing that is it becomes expensive to do so as a bluff - and if we bet smaller as a bluff, any decent player will soon figure this out. This is nl4 though, so we don't have to worry too much. The other problem with potting it every street is that we miss out on lots of value from hands that might have called a smaller bet.

    Overall you played the hand well - against certain villains you can definitely go bigger on the river because their hand looks exactly like Qx and they'll probably call a bigger bet, but betting this size is fine too cause we guarantee Qx will call and might get calls from a stubborn 7x.

    I see your saying im getting value every street so I should be content with that.

    I appreciate your response and Ive taken it onboard.

    Looks super standard

    you can work with turn overbets though here, people tend to not give them credit
