Preflop standard, spot vs unknown player. On the flop I decide check back, I probably not throw many hands (maybe AQ, 99) hands like JJ-QQ can check-call here. On the turn I get nuts, opponent checks again so I decide bet, he calls. On the river I think about how much should bet maybe overbet all in but he can't call vs bet nearly 70% pot.

When an opponent has a strong-looking range, but I have the nuts, I like small river bets — 1/4 to 1/3 pot. Anything bigger they fold, and it is somewhat better to get a small payoff than get nothing. Even better, sometimes they read it as a bluff and raise.

In this case though, there are a lot of hands that might call this turn, but fold river.

On river I think I would go all-in. I dont want to bet small as I dont expect raises from my opponent after this line. Also I think we want to valuebet there KQ+ so I dont see any reason why use smaller sizing.

If I'm positive that they'll call large, I'll bet large for sure.

I check this spot in app Solver+. GTO prefer here big bet on turn and bet all in on river. I think in the first option about this and shouldn't change size like here.

Point is - you want max value with your best hands. Unless board is super scary I would just jam with nuts. He has a lot of good hands on this board, also its not like flush and oesd hit on river so its hard to see bluffs in your range.
