Main question here is on the river.
Preflop: isolate the limper
Flop: not sure about cbet here. I can't represent much, but on the other hand he has a weak range and I have some backdoors, so on balance I decide to keep the initiative.
Turn: I'm happy with my check/call here. No point 2nd barrelling because no worse hand will call again, but I can bluffcatch against floats and whatnot.
River: villain's betsizing really confused me. On this board straight is not possible, flush not possible, 2pair not possible except maybe AJ which I block anyway. So what monster hand is he representing? Just a very small number of combos of slowplayed set, so imo he is often bluffing. (Also I think a genuine value bet would be smaller.) Without being biased by the results on this particular occasion, is it on average profitable to call here vs unknown at nl10?
