I'm always between cbetting this board OTF or check/behind ('cause my hand has a nice sd value) and bet or call blank turns and rivers.

BB wins 16 BB

Cbet sizing could be smaller like 4bb, but the rest seems standard. You can't call with only JJ when he could have king or better hand and you only beat a semi bluff.

Cbet is too big.
Board is dry, I dont think Kx is raising often here, but given the populacional tendencies it is probably better to fold, although I think it is very exploitable with position.

Yes smaller. On this board your sizing will not matter much. He'll likely either fold or call/raise to any bet, so if you are not betting for value smaller is better. After his c/r obv. fold to such a large sizing.

Thanks, all.

It's tricky to size properly because the room client just has fixed sizes, such as half, pot or all, so sometimes I miscalculate the bet/raise size.

But I guess, for this case, it could be half.
