Spoiler

$0.30 pot ($0.01 rake)
Final Board: J Q 4 7 6
Hero mucked T A and lost (-$0.14 net)
SB mucked and won $0.29 ($0.15 net)

Preflop - I'm raising here with A10o being near the bottom of my range into fairly tight opponents to my left barring SB who is appears passive.
I bet 3x as standard here. Occasionally 4x.

Flop - With one caller and a check, i think cbet is ok here. It hits my range well, though i don't plan to invest anymore into the hand. Also hits villians range though i also have 7 outs? I bet around half pot. Maybe a little more would've been better, especially against passive?

Turn - With a blank turn i stick to the plan and pretty much give up the hand. Can a second barrel bluff here be profitable?

River - I fold as planned with a blank river. Maybe call with a smaller river bet?

Is my thinking right here? What else should I think about?
I know i need to put my opponents on ranges...I tend to find this difficult.
Any ideas on how to go about this?
Thanks

Hi Donroops,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Your thought process is sound.

We also need to pay attention to his stack size which is something I haven't seen you mention.

So for example, even if we wanted to, it would be hard to justify a double barrel because of his stack.

I do agree on the bet size and the fact that we can probably make it 9-10c but if he is fit/fold that doesn't matter.
