Preflop just standard, flop bet could have been bigger I admit but just wanted to build the pot without scaring him away, turn I bet bigger percentage wise, both calls from X were insta-calls. Then a check on river, what's the best bet and should I have bet bigger earlier on ?

    Half pot on the flop.......I don't mind the logic behind betting smaller than usual as there are no draws.

    I like the turn size, maybe 400, but that's nit-picking, as he could have 9dxd -  pretty hard to put him on a hand here, must be 22-88, 9T, 89?

    I wudnt shove, Id underbet the river, really is value town for me, maybe 500...? Doesn't look like he's got anything at all, bet small, hope he has 66 and doubles u up.

    value town all the way - 1/2 pot would be the play i would make.

    if he doesn't have much he cant be calling often, punish him when he does arrrrr eeeeeeeen

    he might have ay ace!

    600 value town hope he has ace and will re-raise, think could call with a queen here too although doesnt look like he has too much

    looks like a marginal holding to me, only way you're getting paid if it's cheap enough that he doesn't believe the ace- might get paid by a 9 or 10's/J's perhaps. Anything between 500-700 might get you a call because of what's in the middle, way too deep to shove IMO.

    Although if you do and get accomodated, happy days.

    is %calling overbet x size of overbet />  %calling vbet x size of vbet though?

    I just think he has a marginal here way too often to make shoving profitable, if he has an ace or better he might shove anyway!

    for simplicity sake we'll say we bet 1/3 our stack on river which i think is a pretty good vbet size anyway.


    then he needs to call the vbet 3x for every once he calls the overbet. he limp calls pre which could be K9s-79s but w/o reads some of them are kinda loose tbh. pretty sure the standard sky players limp range is alot more Ax and all i know is they dont like to fold once they hit post flop.

    as hes played so passively so far i dont think you can assume hes jamming Ax on river i think he just flat calls vast majority of the time. i quite like jamming tbh but it would be alot easier if you bet the two previous streets normal size
