Turn and river bets look rather thin to me, river I'd be x/folding as I never expect worse to call. Do we have any info on Villian as that helps me decide whether we should be betting or checking here, I'd typically be c-c with ATo post flop as I don't want to build a large pot with a minor hand.

I think as soon as you see this flop you should be looking for a plan for two streets of value if you don't improve.

Maybe check calling this flop can work but I'd prefer a c bet.

On the turn I'm indifferent between betting small and check calling. If you do bet the turn then the river is usually a check fold without a solid read.

Good post by Turlock. Typical 2 street hand this one.

I agree that river is getting somewhat thin but I'd still bet it given the stakes. However, on the river it's hard to do anything else rather than check/folding (or check/calling against particually agressive floaters).

Pre: I like the three bet here. I would be going larger when OOP and making it 60c here.

Flop: I don't like betting so small here, I would be betting a touch larger again, going 50-55c.

Turn: I agree that betting again here is slightly thin, but I still think it's going to be better than checking it back. If we get raised we have a straight forward fold on our hands, we can get value from a small number of worse Ax, and worse pairs plus gutshots might also peel one more card.

River: When the flush card comes I think betting here is too thin. I would check and react accordingly to villains sizing if he opts to bet. Typically I would be check folding here though, seems like he is going to have a ton of better hands.

Firstly hand is listed as pocket AA but I guess it isn't.

Anyway, hand is basically overplayed given our kicker. Usually better to start off with a flop check/call. A strategy where we bet can be considered but it's usually i) with the intention to check turn, or ii) as a 30% pot sizing on the flop.
