Looks good all streets. You could go smaller on the river maybe but raise, go big, bet small on flush completing does scan like you want paying with your value. I reckon if they have something they will call $2.40 just as often as $2 so why not take it? NH.

Just a thought but since villain seems a bit sticky and we have heaps of outs I thought an overbet/call it off on turn might be worth thinking about?

As played I can't see much wrong with the way it played out, but bet sizing is a big sinkhole in my knowledge anyway.

Thanks guys! I agree with the overbet on the turn, should be quite good in this spot I imagine!

Why would you overbet turn? The j makes all sorts of two pairs for villain and when he shoves you likely have 25% only.

I think you play it fine, river sizing isn't toooo big, he likely fold to a $1.9 bet if he folds to this, may add well get the max when they have two pair+

All streets look good.

River bet size often depends on what you know about villain and his range. If in doubt go big with your nutted hands, he should definitely have some smaller flush draws in his range.

I think this would be a great spot to go for an overbet. Even if villain does have a two pair combo here I think they are unlikely to jam. In general people at these stakes do not see overbets often and have no clue how to react to them at all. I wouldn't be surprises to see hands as strong as sets just flat call vs an overbet but by taking this line we maximise our fold equity vs all of villains Tx hands that have not improved to two pair, and it also bloats the pot massively for a possible large river bet for if we do hit our hand.

As played though your river sizing is fine I think. As mentioned, with out nutted hands it's almost always better to go larger than smaller without specific reads suggesting you should do anything else. I think most of villains river calling range here is not going to change a massive amount whether you bet half pot or the larger sizing so bigger is better.

I can confirm that your line looks fine. If anything I'd go a bit bigger on the flop because it's so much easier to get away with this kind of play than with something like the turn overbet and bigger flop sizing makes it much easier to manage the pot later.

Btw, overbet turn would not be the right line here on a J. Complete some strong hands in his range. Plus if some are saying that he is a little bit sticky this is a reason not to overbet.

Current turn sizing is fine as played, so is river. Hand looks good overall.
