Not at table long, pretty much readless on villain, but he's been pretty quiet, definitely not a maniac

then reraising the turn oop with A high?
as played bet/fold river.
b/f river
on this hand i think you invest a lot of money to protect the original £1 your call cost you. you don't have to win every hand so check/fold flop imo
3b pre is good why?
In position, I'm happy to float this flop. Out of position, with no hand and no draw, I just think floating is going to be -EV against all but the weakest of players - Those who just give up at the first sign of resistance and check down their air. It gives us a problem on the turn, since we almost always check again and he has all the options. When we check-raise, we're doing it into someone that's only shown consistent strength and when he checks behind, too often it's just for pot control so our bluff is called on the river.
I also don't like the raise size on the turn. He's calling this bet with any pair or draw because it is pretty small. Admittedly, that should look stronger to an experienced player but the odds you're laying are so good that he won't fold much at all. I also don't know what hands that 4 is going to allow you to represent having called on the flop. A5? Would you really raise here with just top pair or 88-TT? Otherwise you're representing a set, which is not an easy thing to convince someone of.
The river: You've probably just made the best hand. The value bet size seems fine. Can't see any hands that he raises with here other than overpairs or possibly sets, so it's a bet-fold. Feel silly when he calls with QQ+. Of course, after your small raise on the turn you're probably committed to bet the river almost regardless of whether it's a good card or not. How would you be betting here if you'd missed?
So the basic questions would be:
i) Why float the flop out of position against someone who appears reasonably
solid? At least, you don't have reads to say otherwise.
ii) Why raise so small on the turn?
The difficulty in your turn raise is that too often people don't fold overpairs to small raises. Obviously if you follow that up with a big bet on the river it's going to be difficult for him but you only have to look at how many people post on the clinic with overpairs when they've been check-raised on the turn. How often do they actually fold? lol
So yes, you can represent the set but you want to be representing a broader range than that. On this board, you're only likely to have a set or air.
"...it's 50Nl, he prob has some idea what he's doin" Hmmmm...
The river value bet is a little thin, I think, but I'd do it. You can check-call but I doubt he bets many hands that you beat after you check-raise the turn. I'm thinking he probably calls a bet with 88, 99, TT or maybe something like A7. He could easily turn over JJ, QQ, KK or AA of course... I suspect you'd bluff most rivers bigger than this, so maybe that's what you should do if you think his range is weighted towards those big overpairs.
