For some reason I am unable to copy and paste in the normal visible format. Suits are not clear - there was no FD. My main question is should I be leading on turn if I'm C-betting this board, or given his starting stack relative to the size of the pot is it better to check for pot control, with the possiblilty of inducing worse hands to bet also. I expect all Jx hands to check back also. Once I call turn I think checking the river is optimal also - agree/disagree? why? I also think the half pot bet once i check river polarizes his range to air or nuts? But can he ever have air here or not? I don't think I should be taking more value on this river by raising as 10Q/houses are easily possible. Overall how do you think I've played the hand and what do you think he had?

    with being OOP i would have did a bet of maybe 1.50 right away because a check will make it easy for the villian to attempt a bluff, also if after you did the bet he then went for a raise their is a good chance he could hold the straight, two pair or even a set.

    Looks fine to me. What worse hands are gonna call a river lead or reraise? K10 about the only hand I can think of.

    Tbh, I prefer to just vbet turn/river. Opponent limp/called and isn't stack full stacked so assuming he is generally weak/passive. We should be be value betting him until he shows aggression since these kind of players usually go nuts the second they get a nut hand.

    Yeah I agree, no point c betting this board if when i turn top pair gutshot I am not going to vbet turn. So simple, so easy to make mistake. Obv he showed up with K6 but thats irrelevant
