We should raise 3x the bet from villain pre.

Why do you bet the river when flush completes and board is paired?
As played, we can't fold such good odds OTR ;)

Until the river, I would play the hand the same way what you did against a loose passive player. On the river, all draws comes up and you have less than a pot size bet left. I would check/fold in a spot like this without reads on him, because I don’t think he will bet with worse and I don’t think he will call with a weaker K.

Cheers,

I agree with others that the river bet might be too much. Villain doesn't have many weaker hands that will call.
And I also think that your flop cbet might not be optimal. It is a 3bet pot and board is low and paired. I wouldn't expect to have much fold equity here.

River is very bad but you should always pay attention to the stack sizes, if you bet the river you should just shove.
By the way river it's ok to check/fold. If you had the Ad i think it would be much closer.

All your sizings are bad. Also, u should really consider not c-betting such boards with your entire range as most of it misses and it gets really hard to play out of position if u do not improve (which will happen extremely often). I would check/call the flop to let villain bluff some Ax, Kx hands and proceed with check/raising the turn.

We can skip the flop cbet as villain will call with most of his range.
On river we do not have enough equity to bet again.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your comments. My tought process was this when playing this hand:

Although I feel that my bet size pre is a bit high, but according to the Confidant's beginners course with AKo we have to bet 3,5x times the original bet, which would be 0,14, I just added a bit more, I think because I was quite angry to this fella :) (it's already gone now :) )
Also we might consider the 2BB as a minraise, which means we have to raise 4x (<- this was not in my mind, I was just looking into it)

Even if I did not hit OTF I should bet 2/3 of the pot, this is what happened here.
The same sizing OTT, just because I hit something. I also have top kicker here and my intention was to raise the pot.

I was very uncertain what to do on the river, this is why I posted this hand.
- I might give up and give the Villain a chance to out bluff me (this happens very often)
- or I try to represent a strong hand here with the bet size of 2/3

any comment is :welcome: on this

Are you sure you have understood everything correctly? It sounds weird to raise bigger with certain hands. It is ok to raise bigger when out of position and smaller when in position but raise size shouldn't change because of hand strength imo.

Also:

Even if I did not hit OTF I should bet 2/3 of the pot

Why?
Okay I guess it can be a decent move for beginner to pull one and done here since most guys at NL2 play their hands and don't have any idea that they should defend their range here. However I think this is not the best move.

There is no bet OTR, if you have not enough hands vs fishy villain and do not know how often he is agro OTR just give up.
The way you played - it is definitely a call after your river's bet.
