What do you think? On the flop i have overs+gutshot, the board is relatively dry so i decided to continue. Is the river check ok? I dont think he has enough worst hands in his range that he would call me with.

Hello,

Pf standard.
Flop vs 2 I go for the check most of the times with that gutshot. You should have some check behind hands range on that spot and your hand is one of the good ones to go for a free card. If it was suited [with the table] check behind was even better.
You said the board was dry but I don't think it is that dry. There are a lot of Tx on villains ranges and many broadways as well.
As played, I'd bet smaller OTF, like 1/3 to 1/2 pot max.
OTT I'd bet smaller again and OTR is check for sure because as you said it's very hard for you to get called by worst.
Cheers!

Thank you, guess you are right, 10 9 on the flop doesn't really look that good after all, and if i go for a bet, a smaller one makes sense too. Dont really understand the turn play here though (cause i am a fish i guess:f_biggrin:) , why bet small again and lets say if i checked and the same turn came, against two players what is the right play?

You're welcome.
Betting small, i mean smaller than your bet. Like 1/2 pot max. Now you have value but you want to keep your previous line (you should not change your bets depending on the value of your hand, because against decent regs they will notice after some hands against you).
If the flop was checked and that turn checked again to you I'd go for a clear value bet. 1/2 pot or a bit more. On a blank river, bet again. You'd still get many calls from TX for example.
If you checked the flop, it's very unlikely that BB (now we know his hand) checked again the turn. More likely for you to face a scenario where you "have" to call on both turn and river.
Anyways, as played was not bad in general. I'd just readjust the sizes.

I agree no need to overbet the flop with the cbet. Also you improve on the turn but its really not that nice since the board is kinda wet, if you face a checkraise here you gonna have a hard time.
