Hi,

Ugly board for a top pair, c-bet 2/3 pot on the flop which perhaps was too small? Think I have to c-bet vs 2 opponents?
Turn card completes some draws. so went for pot control
River call I dislike given the villain's stats, they appear to be passive post-flop, so if they shove 3/4 pot on the river, they must have TPTK beat

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Cbet sizing is fine I think, and I would most likely shove the turn for thin value and protection against a short stack that’s passive so far. If he has you beat it’s nasty, but I think he could call with worse hands sometimes.

Cheers,
