Turn - I think there is not much value. My kicker is low. But not sure if he can have better aces. Maybe he would raise them on such board.

River - since I shoved weakness on turn and there are busted draws, not too big bet so I called. But this bet size looks like value bet. Was not sure still what hands beat me. Better ace provably is not betting. Sets, 2 pairs raise flop. Jx? Flush raise flop.

Hey SPeedFANat1c,

I think the key to playing this hand well is to realise that a large flop sizing is not necessary. $1.10 likely works fine here. We want to protect our equity but at the same time keep the calling range of our opponents as wide as possible since our kicker sucks.

With a smaller sizing on flop would likely bet turn again. As played it may still be ok to fire (although not sure if we want to see a club or not by this stage). Checking is fine.

River purely depends on opponents bluffing frequencies. Probably better option to assume an unknown is not that capable of bluffing and that your hand is no good.
