Wondering about turn and river options here. I hate betting thin small on the river as I get paranoid about inducing, but I understand it's best sometimes.

Hey ChangNoi77,

Preflop is fine.

Probably makes more sense generally to put this hand in our x/c range. Betting will be +EV but maybe not the best as overall strategy. Turn will often be tough.

Turn is probably better to x/c. Very hard to extract value here. Other option is to make a very small underbet.

River value probably slightly too thin, but the sizing is reasonable.

I'm a little confused about why this 4 straight board probably isn't a river bet but you think the other one is

Firstly, it's only slightly thin, I don't think it's that bad.

The main difference is that the 4-to-straight gets there on the turn in this hand, while it hits on the river in the previous hand.

It's harder for opponents to call down 2 streets with 2 pair on a 4-to-straight board than just one.
