Zoom/speed Nl20 set vs river raise

Why do you cbet flop? How often they fold, since I assume you arent doing it for value since there are almost no real good cards for you, just improve your equity by a bit.

When you catch your out on the turn, just bomb 3 streets for value, maybe not that river though.

I would bet normal size and fold to a raise, maybe check/call if I expect him to turn a hand like 9x of spades or other non-pair spades into a bluff.

Thanks Emmanuel,

I know the cbet on flop is bad,

regarding the river wont I be missing a lot of value from two pairs, lower sets and overpairs if I just check to induce?

It's really up to you to weigh his range.. Would 2pair not raise earlier? Only 2pair is 79s so 2 combos...

I agree with the overpairs a bit.. there are 12 combos of those.. You'd nee him to have more flushdraw combos that ALSO bet so it's a stretch if you don't think he raises overpairs earlier. Same goes for flushes.. It's basically an estimate of what he'd be more likely to do: make a thin call with showdown value or bluff too many busted draws. He could have some A4, A3s hands that bluff as well since they have almost no showdown value... I usually like to have a hand strong enough to check/call sometimes here since I double barrel and check to give up sometimes in this spot but maybe a hand like QQ+ is strong enough to check/call and 55 is too strong to not bet...
