Pre: probably at the wider side, but as big not impossible. CO and BU are both regs at the laggier side. So makes it less ideal since both can widely 3bet shove here and I still have a fold. The 2 big stacks are (very ) likely fish. With Villian 99%. I think if I would take to consider these factors I wouldn't raise this again, but it is anyway is a very small mistake either way.

Flop: My hand/range are both ways too strong to not c-bet. Even against a possible calling station. Against a reg, I probably bet smaller, but against fish, I like my 1/2potbet since the feeling it induces fewer random playbacks.

Turn: One of the worst possible turn cards. Since both his 9x and 7x gain a lot in strength and with a continued c-bet I probably don't let fold anything. So I check. With this betsize do I have still just enough equity to get enough (implied) odds.

River: this river is easy c/f, but the question is what to do on rivers I hit. So K/T/8/5
T/5 donk shove?
K? c/c or also shove?
8 c/f?

Normally I would fold K8s pre-flop or you are playing at a tight table. Especially with 3 re-shove stacks behind you.

Totally agree with that, but it will always be a borderline decision. As mentioned in my post, but not really the point of the post.

It is more the turn/ and the possible other rivers. Any thoughts?

It depends on the villain as well. You could barrel as semi bluff again and sometimes go for a 3 barrel bluff.

As played I would check/fold the turn with only 8 outs to hit a straight on a paired board.
