Same table again. Here a reg iso's the fish from the other two hands and I 3 bet for value vs both fish and reg. Flop is low but OOP with FD and any A or K I'd hate I think a cbet is OK. Could check I suppose.

Turn I try and pot control but no dice and he bets out. I feel he has enough combo draws plus TT and JJ so can call.

River he jams on the paired board when FD bricks. I properly mind blanked.

You can probably go a bit bigger pre.

Flop cbet is definitely good. This flop should be great for you and since the pot is bigger than you standard 3bet pot, villain *might* have less combos of 44-55 in his range as well as maybe less combos of stuff like 98s.

Turn you could still go for a bet. The 6x will hit him better than you but I don't know if it's enough of a concern to need to slow down here 100% of the time. I think the check it fine too though, maybe it's close.

River would be better for you if you didn't have the Qh. I still think you can give him a small amount of bluffs though since there are other flush draws and probably flop floats that bluff turn and river. His value range should be pretty narrow and combined with the assumption that we can discount AA/KK and 44/55 I think you can make the call.

Were I checking this turn I would be checking to check raise all in. He has less than pot behind after his bet.

Against this loose player I would be tempted to make it 3.50 pre and go for a two street value line on the texture you got. Betting 6 on the flop then gives you a big enough pot to shove on.

I doubt he slowplays sets on that board so 54s and 65s are all we're really worried about, and he can still call it off on the turn with JJ TT flush draws and 76s
