you missed out so much value when you bet so small. what are you afraid of? we should bet big all streets for value with such a strong hand.

Hiya

PREFLOP
Seems fine, nice sizing.

FLOP
I would bet 22 cents on the flop. You miss a lot of value by not betting big here as people will call you with a lot of worse hands.

TURN
Same as on the flop, bet 36-40 cents for value.

RIVER
I would bet/fold again something like 40 cents. The board is scary but the guy can still call you with many worse hands.

By betting small you allow weaker hands to draw cheaply against you. Flush/straight draws get great odds. When you call the river it doesn't really matter what he holds. Your biggest mistake, which costed you about $1 was not betting for value vs this guy who would have call with any Kx. So you lost 50bb or $1 by betting too small.

Bet big for value!
