Spot vs unknown player. On the flop with overpair and nut flush draw I cbet here for 1/3 pot. On the turn comes king so I cbet again for 1/3 pot to get value from pockets with one spade. Opponent check-raise I decide call. River is blank. Villian bet all in I don't see bluffs here, he can has sets here or flush with for example KsQs and this line on micro is usually for strong hand so I decide fold.

Its the worse thing You can do at nl5 with small Bet. You often inducate with it.
Never fold this hand next time. Sometimes he has QK or worse. I would like to 3/4 pot Bet each street. The callling range does not change. Probably he over played worse hand against small Bet that this strong.

I would size up the turn for sure. 80c seems reasonable with in mind you don't need to protect against draws.

Yeah I don't need big protection but on this king on the turn vs big bet can fold hands like TsTx, 9s9x for example from Kx he can has KsQx/KxQs, KJ beat us here. What can call here vs 3/4 pot size bet on the flop and the same size on the turn? Without position I think he has more combination suited cards than off.

I expect his better hands to raise some of the time on the flop so calling looks like a flush draw or weak pairs trying to see a showdown, some weak draws can also call. The turn raise is weird to me but our sizing can induce these kinds of raises imo, the K is a good card for him to rep value. When he jams river i'm fine with folding on these limits because in my opinion they are often strong and the 6 isn't a good barrel card, so I'm inclined to believe him. I prefer giving credit to river and turn aggression in these marginal spots, we can just wait for better opportunities to make money.

Do you have trouble building these pots when you bet 1/3 on the flop and turn? It just makes river shoves harder when you hit big and try to get max value.

I prefer more sizing bets but this King on the turn is bad card for range SB do I decide bet small to get value from more hands than only from Kx. In another question from one topic, population on nl5 Play more passive than aggresive and I don't see many bluffs on different spots.

I would consider betting bigger on boards that are more connected. if we see an 8/9 or T on the turn our life gets more difficult. I would be trying to keep his range more narrow on this flop.
