Hi,

BB 3bet 1 out of 4 in 30 hands, plays 30/25 so no sample.

What do you think about line and sizing? I think river is to big.

Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $17.56 (175.6 bb)
BB: $10.25 (102.5 bb)
UTG: $5.16 (51.6 bb)
MP: $10 (100 bb)
CO: $10 (100 bb)
Hero (BTN): $15.90 (159 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with J J
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.25, SB folds, BB raises to $0.60, Hero calls $0.35

Flop: ($1.25) K 5 T (2 players)
BB bets $0.60, Hero calls $0.60

Turn: ($2.45) 9 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.70, BB calls $0.70

River: ($3.85) Q (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $3.20, BB folds

Results:

Spoiler

$3.85 pot ($0.17 rake)
Final Board: K 5 T 9 Q
BB mucked and lost (-$1.90 net)
Hero mucked J J and won $3.68 ($1.78 net)

I also think the river bet is too big, around 1/2 pot maybe. Turn, bet bigger or check back. With this small bet you do not accomplish much.

Sometimes it will be ok to 4bet preflop.
As it is played, bet 1/2 turn at least. River bet should be smaller- 1/2-2/3...

Turn small bet is a protection bet, but after seeing it now there's not really much I need protection for so could bet bigger for value to chbehind blank rivers. The question is what do we get value from on the river -> then we can use the right sizing.

As played, I'd say that the opponent rarely has more than a pair (or AJ:D), by the time you get to the river. Also, how much would you want to bet on a river bluff to make him fold that pair? A river sizing as nitrol suggests should be good for both bluff and value. I'd go on the lower side. But don't make it too small, it might induce a bluff or a "value raise" with Jx (to push you off a split). That would be a tough spot where mistakes are easily made.

I would bet turn at least 1/2.
