`Pre: I like using this hand as a three bet bluff in position so wp, I like your sizing also.

Flop: If this was a single raised pot I would probably be checking back but I think his three bet calling range will not have hit this as hard so I like firing once here as a one and done type bet, again I like your sizing.

Turn: We pick up showdown value, albeit not that much so I like checking back here but I do not love it as I think we are going to have the best hand all that often.

River: Villain checks again to us which is interesting, I think they are going to be betting the majority of their Jx, and checking all of their worse showdown value hands. If we are going to bet here I think we need to bet huge and overbet as a bluff to fold out hands like TT and the occasional random 9x that villain can show up with. I dunno if this option is all that great though, I think I would probably opt for the check back but expect to be beat a reasonable percentage of the time.

Pre: without info that villain folds to 3bets a lot I'm a bit meh about this at 2nl for two reasons. One is that people at these games do not know how to fold hands. That means that a) he calls a lot, which is not a disaster but can get us in nasty dominated situations and b) our flop cbets will not work often enough given how often we'll hit air. The other reason is that beating this game specifically comes from value hands, not having a strong 3betting game. This isn't terrible, I just think it's misjudged at this game.

Flop: cbetting works well - we won't get a huge number of folds on this board, but we have a good number of cards we can barrel on.

Turn: I think I'd actually barrel this card as well. Our hand picks up some SDV, but I don't think enough that we can be happy taking this hand to SD vs our opponent's range if we don't improve. Therefore, I think we should use this card as more a semi-bluff and look to fold out hands like 55 - 88 and maybe some 9x. Another funky thing is if our opponent floated with something like AQhh - which happens more often than you'd think, albeit not super often - we can get some thin value from heart draws.

River: Villain has called twice in a 3bet pot and the board bricked. His made hands aren't going anywhere, and are now skewed towards Jx, TT and 9x. Don't be tempted to bluff this card.

I like the bluff pre, and the hand type. Even though many unknowns will call us light OOP, we still have at least some fold equity and a hand which flops well a decent amount. If villain is confirmed as a player who never folds then we just widen our value range and don't bluff.

The flop is close between checking back and betting. One overcard and a backdoor flush draw is possibly enough to bet against an unknown.

The turn is open to debate. I would lean towards betting small for thin value against draws and hoping for folds from hands such as 77. We also gain protection from getting bluffed on the river from floated gutshots and overcards etc.
