History - Villian (H) is an active player who probably thinks I'm solid.
My thoughts. I raised pre in position for value. I check flop as I think I'm well ahead here and its such a dry rainbow flop. I bet small on turn as I think I'm well ahead and I want to get some value from say a 10 or a turned FD or a PP and give him a chance to raise bluff(which he will do). He then quickly leads into me on the river and I suddenly cant see how i'm ahead now. I dont think this is ever a bluff and at time I though it was more likely a rivered 2 pair hand. I fold. He shows a rivered set.
I then get a bit of abuse that I played it wrong but I think I was never getting 3 streets of value and probably getting a fold on the flop. If the river was a brick then I still think I'm getting calls from some PP's, 10's and weaker Aces.

3bet pre is fine although flatting is an option too as you have position and a fairly well disguised hand. I find that many peoples calling ranges of 3bets whether in or out of position tend to fall into 2 groups of hands. Any PP up to and including JJ in some cases and suited connectors or semi connectors up to hands like KJ/KQs. Most people will 4bet QQ+ and AK although you do get the odd player who thinks he's laying a trap.
Check on flop is fine although I think a cbet is fine too.
After the checked flop though I think we've gotta bet bigger on the turn, say £1.50 or so. We want to charge any potential draw and if he does have a worse ace get more money in the pot.
On the river I think I sigh call and see. If you're gonna fold tp 2nd best kicker to a 2/3 river lead in a not particularly bloated pot then that could be very exploitable to a good player down here, a bit too nitty imo. The only reasonable 2p hand looks like T9s or possibly a slow played ATs otf. Worth paying £2.20 to see if he calls 3bets oop pre with hands like A9s+ or pairs (as it happens you got it for free - what a bargain!)
Pre and flop are fine. I personally prefer betting flop but checking isn't a mistake imo.
Turn needs to be like 1.20 - 1.30
As played river is a snap call. You have under repped your hand so much. Don't be results orientated because this time he had a set.
Surely we check back the flop to disguise our hand (to a degree) and thus call them when they take a stab on a later street?
Probs just bet the flop mostly, though occasionally might check it, or the turn, behind. Then value own myself on the river innit.
