Beginner Strategy
FLOP
As we hit a draw we bet 2/3
TURN
We hit a monster we bet 2/3
RIVER
We have a flush/monster so we bet 2/3 again

ADJUSTMENT
TURN
T8 got there, 97, J7 AcX will not fold now, Jx will struggle folding
=>I made it closer to pot
Should I go even tougher and bet pot/overbet so I can PSB shove the river?
RIVER
even though I'm holding a flush, it should be obvious even to recreational players. And I hold the Qc, the most likely hand that will always call
so I decided to bet 1/3 pot to get calls out of TcX 8cX and possibly some 2 pairs and Jx

What would you do vs a raise on river?

Unless you do not do any additional damage to your room, you can cry... :)

Why are we raising $0.23 PF?

I would bet the flop bigger, like $0.50, to maximise FE from the semi-bluff (which also helps set up for a river shove). I'm not too worried that a limper is going to read my hand from a larger bet size.

The turn is fine, betting bigger would just lose value.

I would x/c the river. I don't see betting getting much value here and as said we have to fold to a raise.

Don't really see anything wrong with a 4.6x iso-raise.

I don't object to the size, it's just a weird number.

The way the hand is played is one way to play it. The turn bet could be slightly smaller to allow a naked A♣: draw (unprofitably). It should (IMO) be folded to the big turn bet since it should have little implied odds. In fact, I don't see many hands can call that turn bet that are likely to be his actual holding. The river bet looks good. Misplayed sets and small flushes will call. If we get bluffed out by a raise, well, nice play by the button. We can't win'em all:)

Bu limps and Hero isolates. Nothing weird. Some players like to make uneven sizes so it will be hardrr for villains to calculate odds. It is a war and all weapons are useful. :)
