AK - value bet river?

Greetings!

Well, I would bet 3/4 pot OTF, because its a pretty wet board.
Same on turn.

I would bet river aswell around, because their are Qx-s in his range, which call 2 street. However I'm not sure, this is the case. He could have Adxd to call both flop and turn, and these still can call a river cbet here. I would bet 1/5 pot OTR, so you don't get that much commited, if he checkraises here.

I'm curious about the opinions of anybody else aswell.

Well in a 3bettet pot I often bet a bit less when I don't hit it.
I know that this is not really balanced but I was told that on nl2 no one really pays attention. 🤷‍♂️

You are right. For some reason I forgot, that you didn't hit that flop. Well that way you should 1/3 pot cbet I guess, but I'm not that sure. It would be nice, if someone say something more usable, than me. ♦ But I guess turn 3/4pot is sure fine, and river as I said.

Yes, there's no need to cbet big when you miss the flop. I would bet between 1/3 and 1/2 pot. OTR you can bet again for value. At 2nl it pays off even though every once in a while they might raise you and you'll have to fold.

How big would you bet OTR?

With no info about 2/3 pot. Of course you must go bigger if it's a fish.

to put this simply, OTR bet 80% of the pot

For me it is ok to go broke with top pair top kicker so if I hit I bet hard. If I get re-raised OTR, it is a tough one so it will depend on the opponent if we are to call or not.

First of all, I would check back flop. You have nice showdown value with nut A-high and no need to turn it into a bluff, especially on a board where villain will be unlikely to fold. If you do however decide to c-bet flop, sizing is fine, could be bigger or smaller, depending on how you play your ranges.

As far as river goes, easy value bet on the river, especially on micros you have to learn how to valuebet if you want to crush. I would bet 0.70$. Another thing, if villain had 2-pair or better on the river I would expect him to donk most of the time, so TPTK is even more of a value bet there. Just know, that IF villain does decide to check/raise river, you have to fold as it's never a bluff. But that will really not happen often.

Also, you can potsize turn with so many draws out there.

Cheers!
