hi,
I think this is a really close one. preflop is std with this strong hand imo. I want to iso the unknown player who I knew is likely to be bad. On the flop I think it's a super clear cb due to my fd and overs. I get even more outs on the turn so i simply continue betting oop. On the river I think do I really want to bet this for value and I think he is able to call a 9 or t this way. I target this weak part of his range with a small bet who also dictates my sizing wish. If he raises as he did I am super often beat by two pair or super stupid stuff that he elect to call down. He raises but chooses a super small sizing an I have to as myself am I ahead here every 5th time. Does he really raises often enough with worse. I thought that is not the case and folded. I think you can make arguments for calling because better aces don't limp pre and the str8 should give me action on the turn. I block the flush so that leaves him with weird two pairs or air. he is likely to be recrea and the don't pull river bluffs on this limit so I just let go and seize my edge later. This is probably not a big decision either way but I am interested in the sizing and your opinions in my decision-making process so I choose a rel easy hand for me to start to analyse this.
