Pre-flop, is it ok as played? I would have limped with 99, but TT I thought was a raise.

Flop: I ended up with too many opp. for my taste. However, when I saw the flop and considering that everybody went to see the flop (none of them regs), I figured out that I had to bet as they would call me with worse. I am left oop, which I didnt like, vs. what seems to be a station (he has limped 5/9 hands).

Turn: I didn't like to see a K on the turn, but he doesn't bet. I assume he didn't like it either.

River: The moment I click bet I knew it was wrong, but it was already too late :f_cry:. I don't like my river bet. I think the only hands he would call that bet with are hands that had me beat. At the same time, I am making fold smaller pairs. I think that betting river was ok (or not?), but I should have made it more of a block bet, may be 300?

Preflop is fine, though limping is not bad either.

In flop better bet size would be 250. In higher stakes games I might bet like 200 as villains are less happy to call with 2 big overcards. Turn check and river bet is also ok, but yeah you should size it way smaller. 300 would be ok.

+1 on the smaller sizing, pre I'd make it 100. I'd also barrel turn and maybe river, Something like 100 pre, 200 flop, 355 turn, 444 river, fold to shove. We get value from 66, 77, 99 plenty here.

I don't think that 3barreling is often good here. We are iso raising from early position (tight range) and turn K (AK hit also) is not best either. Scare cards tend to be bad value bet cards versus unknowns in general. Though it might be that I overestimate unknown players of this limit :)

It is 4 way on the flop so you're probably right. Still, it's my line, and 66 calls every street nearly all the time from most randoms.

I dislike limping a hand as strong as TT here, otherwise I agree with ghaleon about our line. I don't think our 3rd barrel gets called often enough so I elect go for value on the flop and river instead.
