Villain is unknown
OTF: Think I can still have the best hand a lot since there is only one overcard out and the board is somewhat dry, especially since I would still expect villain to be c-bet bluffing this board a decent amount or just giving up on lots of turns. Even if I'm not ahead I can choose to turn my hand into a bluff I think. I didn't see any point in raising and turning my hand into a bluff.
Plan was to just float and mainly give up OTT if he barrels.
OTT: when villain checks I think his range will be mostly draws and hands less than TP (so I think I can pretty much exclude TP+ from his range). So I think I have two options:
check and re-evaluate river and hope to get a cheap showdown and maybe place a thin value bet on safe rivers vs some weaker pairs, of which I don't think there will be that many in hindsight.
bet the turn for value/protection vs draws and hands that have a decent amount of equity vs my hand that I don't want to give out free cards to (overcards and such). I think sometimes I might get Tx to fold as well.
what about my turn bet sizing here? Should I be betting about 1/2 to get calls from a weaker range?
as played...
when I got called I felt like villain either has a missed draw and I win or some Tx and is in x/c mode and will probably not be folding to another bet. All in all I thought that I had enough showdown value vs his range which would be more heavily weighted towards missed and unpaired draws.
