AJo NL25 Zoom 3bet pot

Hey Rihard4a,

Preflop is fine for thin value.

Cbet is good here. Although the conventional advice is to bet large on drawy boards, since we need to bet/fold here it likely makes sense to keep the sizing neutral (close to half pot) on the turn, and bet exploitatively on a blank turn card. (We expect villain to raise sets/2pair on this texture.

Turn sizing is fine.

River sizing needs to be small here. Opponent has lots of one pair hands including weak pair+draw type stuff. For this reason we can underbet river, perhaps $4-$5 or so.

My sizing preflop would be bigger since we're deep, even 100bb I'd make it a bit bigger.

I'd bet more on the flop too since we want to get more value/protection. I don't see much benefits of betting this small comparing to bigger sizing.

On the turn sizing is better but I'd make it a bit bigger (I'm repeating myself, sorry for that).

And on the river (guess what) I'd bet bigger, something like 9,50 like you said. All draws missed and villain might have raised with better hands allready so we have a really clear valuebet. Villains range contains a lot of onepair-bluffcatchers so we want to bet with a sizing that looks bluffy, your sizing looks like a valuebet to me. I don't know if villain is thinking like this, but I'd bet bigger anyway.

I kinda agree with this, but on the other hand I don't see villain folding any Jx if we bet like 2/3 potsize bet on the river since all draws missed. I think we should bet either small or big, not like 1/2 potsize.

We can take the level where we know villains range consists largely of bluff-catchers and so we want to look polarized. This is ok as general strategy - although I've found it to be better to play straightfowardly vs players at these limits rather than trying to level them. We know villain's range is weak so we can just keep it simple and bet small.
