Hey
Preflop, should I expect less high and more medium strength type hands in regs range because of low ir sizing? or maybe he thinks that with that low sizing he will stack off fish easily as well, so why to put more money pre. I think he is on the weaker side of range.
On the flop I should bet to be called by worse Ax,some Kx,GS and flushes. When I was playing I was a bit suspicious about low IR and then call, and I don't have 3 streets of value, so I decided to xc. Turn xb exludes QT from his range. On the river all flushes missed and he looks like Jx which he has about 12combo( AJ,QJ) and some missed draws. V shows some aggression so I concluded that call is best

Hey Majku99,

Prefop is ok, although the standard option is to typically overcall and lead a bunch of flops with the fish involved.

Flop x/c is fine, it's a decent option.

Turn is fine.

Vs many opponents it's good to lead the river for thin value. X/c is decent so long as villain has a propensity to bluff with b/c/b line - some players won't ever do this in which x/c doesn't work out well.
