Full Tilt, $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em Cash, Rush, 6 Players

SB: $95.63 (382.5 bb)
Hero (BB): $60.31 (241.2 bb)
UTG: $34.25 (137 bb)
MP: $14.61 (58.4 bb)
CO: $31.89 (127.6 bb)
BTN: $24.53 (98.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4 7
UTG folds, MP calls $0.25, 3 folds, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.60) 5 2 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.40, MP calls $0.40

Turn: ($1.40) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.70, MP calls $0.70

River: ($2.80) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $1, MP raises to $2, Hero ??

As we see we are playing against quite good friend judging by his stack size.

Questions are about turn and river play.

What sizing should i use if i want to bet this turn? Wanted to bet smaller since im mostly aiming on 5x, diamond backdoors and maybe something like A2.

Wasn't sure about river. Theoretically i could check, but since i dont know that he is capable to bluff on river i decided to value bet vs previously mentioned hands. Again, what sizing should i use? What he is trying to tell me once he minraises? Our play?

Hi,

Betting half pot or 60% is fine on the turn. You can always bet bigger, but since worse hands would often fold and better hands would call, you most likely build bigger pot if you´re behind.
And if called you still have to play river where more than half the cards are bad for you.
My usual style would be c/c turn and c/c river with showdown value to get more info about limped.
Betting two streets and then checking would also be fine. I would personally not bet river, since it is hard him to call with worse hands by betting 1/3 pot you might induce some light raises. c/c should be more standard

best regards,
