Hi!

I expect him to bet the flop very often in this board texture, that's why i checked the turn again instead of bluffing, he can have some 9x 88 77 even Kx and Ax that are probably not folding.

Once he checks back again he probably doesnt have Kx, may have some 9x , then Ax and pairs like 77 88 5x 2x .

I think ill get called kind often if i bet half pot or something like that. Is it ok to overbet here? i think i have to bluff and overbetting is probably the best option, even though i dont rep too much (maybe 66 65s 96s something like that), not sure, what i am sure is that Qx is never good for showdown here

Hi 6804alefito

So if you expect him to have showdown value why would you try to slightly overbet and rep so little there?

I mean why expect a pair or Ax to fold for a bit over pot size in such a small pot?

You mean overbet bigger or just give up? If bigger, how much? 2x pot maybe?

I mean just giving up.

I feel that repping nothing is pretty bad here when his hand is pretty face up (some showdown value).

And the pot is so small and thus the risk is not really worth the reward.
