Pre is standard. Flop I can rep the K well and have some backdoor FD and high card equity.

Turn the FD so barrel it. River catch the A and think I should check to induce a small bluff from bricked FD
with my SDV bluffcatcher.

When he overbets stick with the plan and make the call or give him credit. I can't believe he can have too many nutted hands as surely 55 or 88 or 8x would have raised earlier. Air trying to buy it?

Pre is fine, as you said standard enough open. I also agree with the flop c-bet, I think this will definitely get through enough to be profitable. Again on the turn I agree with your barrel, I like your sizing as well. You could probably even go a little smaller and still accomplish the same thing.

The river really sucks. Overbets are pretty tough to deal with, especially on the river like this. In my experience overbets at these stakes are fairly nutted so I think we should be folding here against the majority of the pool population. It all depends on the level of thinking of the opponent though. This river card is actually a really good card for an overbet bluff here, it's pretty difficult for you to have the type of hand that you have. Your line really makes it look like you have a hand like KQ which will seriously struggle to find a call here, I'm just not sure how many people in in the 10NLz pool are thinking along these lines though. The general pool seems to more so think along the lines of "Well he didn't bet into my fullhouse so now I just need to overbet it to try to pick up some extra value" so in conclusion, I think I just fold here without specific information on the villain.

Pre standard

Like the c bet with your equity pieces and plenty of barrel cards on this board.

I guess that's the worst heart but still good enough to barrel imo. He can give up on Ax floats and stuff like 77 66

River looks like a fold. 10NL players aren't over betting enough on the river for amounts like this. I know you say surely he raises sets earlier but I know you've played enough hands and probably been caught out plenty when they haven't. Micro players worry a lot about losing their customer making post flop raises. I reckon something like 98s is his most likely hand here.

I would never hero call this but given the limit I'd also be inclined to bet the river myself. It's obviously thin (super thin vs. some players) but given how the hand went, and this particular board texture we might be able to bet this for thin value vs. your classic overcalling NL10 player.

I used to call here, but I eventually learned that one pair doesn't beat quads..

I notice people are commenting on how to deal with the river situation after checking instead of listing the actual best line.

We river top pair and should be making a small underbet for value and playing bet/fold.Checking sucks, we miss value. Never strong enough to check/call vs an overbet at these limits, so easy fold as played.
