fold, UTG+1 calls 1 BB, MP calls 1 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 5 BB, fold, fold, UTG+1 calls 4 BB, fold

Flop: (12.5 BB, 2 players) 9♦ A♠ T♥

Turn: (30.5 BB, 2 players) J♥
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets 15 BB, UTG+1 calls 15 BB

River: (60.5 BB, 2 players) 4♥
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks

UTG+1 shows Q♦ J♠ (One Pair, Jacks) (Pre 41%, Flop 30%, Turn 23%)
Hero shows A♦ T♣ (Two Pair, Aces and Tens) (Pre 59%, Flop 70%, Turn 77%)
Hero wins 57 BB

I only have 55 hands on the villain but from his stats he seems like a fish.

Pre-flop I raised the limpers in position as they probably have weak hands.

When I hit top two pair on the flop I obviously bet, and I bet again on the turn, but when the third heart comes I check back in case he's hit a flush or has been slowplaying a straight. Is this OK?

Also, looking at the odds when I play back the hands, should I bet larger on the flop and turn to charge more for straight draws?

Edit: Sorry, forgot to convert this hand, have just fixed this.

Hello,

First of all, I would like to ask you to convert your hands in the future, as they are a little bit hard to read in this way.

Preflop is fine.

On the flop I like your bet.

Turn bet should be bigger though - something like 23-24bb would be great.

As played, the third heart isn't really great, but I think we could still look for value here - something between 1/3 and 1/2 pot will be fine, and I would plan to fold if I get raised.

Best,
Plamen
