BTN: $17.92 (112 bb)
SB: $19.37 (121.1 bb)
BB: $18.27 (114.2 bb)
MP: $10.39 (64.9 bb) Unknown
Hero (CO): $16.33 (102.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A T
MP raises to $0.32, Hero raises to $1.12, 3 folds, MP calls $0.80

His open raise was too weak and the guy seemed like a fish so I 3-bet to isolate against him.

Flop: ($2.48) J 2 3 (2 players)
MP bets $0.48, Hero raises to $1.76, MP calls $1.28

His flop donk is again too weak. I raise to make him fold right here and he snap called.

Turn: ($6.00) J (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $3.04, MP calls $3.04

A very quick check from him again, I've picked up some equity and again his bet sizing has just been so weak all along, I bet half pot to use the J as a scare card, besides less likely he has a J now.

River: ($12.08) 5 (2 players)
MP bets $4.47 and is all-in, Hero calls $4.47

Results:

Spoiler

$21.02 pot ($0.95 rake)
Final Board: J 2 3 J 5
MP showed 4 5 and lost (-$10.39 net)
Hero showed A T and won $20.07 ($9.68 net)

I like preflop.
Flop I raise it a bit bigger :)

On the turn I prefer taking a free river because he won't fold any pair now... It is unlikely we have a J in his eyes (2J's on board). Maybe he feels stronger with Ax too. If you bet I'd prefer a bigger bet to gain some FE again.

River is easy living :)

imo small donk/call mean he has something which he can call on turn.
So I chose checkback turn for freecard.
and river, easy call.

Hello maheepsangari,

There is no point to Bet the turn cause you will rarely have any fold equity vs made hands and vs any other hand you have decent equity. Just Check it behind.

Best Regards.
