No reads, only few hands on villain. But I have him marked as potential fish since I saw him with weird stack size under 100bb.

Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $10 (100 bb)
Hero (BB): $12.62 (126.2 bb)
UTG: $23.90 (239 bb)
MP: $10.32 (103.2 bb)
CO: $32.67 (326.7 bb)
BTN: $13.25 (132.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♦: A♣:
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.35, SB folds, Hero raises to $1.10, BTN calls $0.75

Flop: ($2.25) 5♣: 9♥: 2♦: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.73, BTN calls $0.73

Turn: ($3.71) 5♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $1.90, BTN calls $1.90

River: ($7.51) 2♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $7.17, Hero calls ?

Should we just bet flop and turn bigger, or as played bet river small too and fold to a raise?
I think villai would have quite often raised his strong hands OTF or OTT and I'm not sure if he is going to pot bet OTR with backdoor flush when the board is double paired. Looks weird. IMO calling here wouldn't be that bad since I can see some stupid bluffs in his range especially if he is fishy.

Bet bigger flop and turn vs. fish and jam river yourself.

Yeah, bet bet bet is the line to take here. A fish presumably never folds any 9 or any 66-KK, so you want to bet all three streets to get it in. Bet bigger on the flop too, half pot is great I'd say. And don't worry about GTO on NL10, ie "want to bet 1/3 with bluffs so I must bet 1/3 with nuts". Bluff 1/4 and cb 1/2+ for value on this board. You should also consider raising larger pre, like 1.2-1.3 instead, you're out of position and also want to build the pot. Especially when you have the nuts. And I can't stress it enough - dont think about balance etc, play straight forward ABC "dumb" poker, villains wont notice and defiantly not the fish!

What was your reason for checking river?

To be honest I don't really remember why I was betting so small on F and T and no idea why I checked the river. I was probably already unfocused or tilting a bit.

And don't worry .. I don't think about GTO at all :)

Thanks guys for answers ! Anyway, if we would bet PRE, F and T bigger as you guys said we should ... is our plan to bet/fold the river ?

No, just bet all in on the river. Especially if you have made your sizes larger before the river it's an easy normal bet :)

We most probably are committed in that case and we can comfortably get it in OTR
