Hero (SB): $67.63 (135.3 bb)
BB: $137.37 (274.7 bb)
MP: $56.03 (112.1 bb)
CO: $55.12 (110.2 bb)
BTN: $71.25 (142.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6 5
MP folds, CO raises to $1.50, BTN folds, Hero raises to $5, BB folds, CO calls $3.50

Villain 32/26/10. He was folding to 3 bets only 45% but played more or less fit or fold later. Fold to cbet in 3 bet pots 100% (3/3). Raise First CO 38%. My plan was to raise and take the pot with flop cbet.

Flop: ($10.50) 7 5 K (2 players)
Hero bets $6.50, CO calls $6.50

Once he called I thought he might have KQ, KJ, KT or any suited K, PPs 44-JJ, some sc's, perhaps some suited Ax's with backdoor fd? I was going to give up on turn unimproved.

Turn: ($23.50) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $11.75, CO calls $11.75

Got oesd so I continued barreling. I thought he would fold most PPs and suited aces other than spade.

River: ($47) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

Gave up hoping he have some stubborn AQ or Ax of spade. Should I have bet instead? What about bet sizing?

Results:

Spoiler

$47 pot ($3 rake)
Final Board: 7 5 K 8 8
Hero showed 6 5 and lost (-$23.25 net)
CO showed 9 7 and won $44 ($20.75 net)

Preflop is fine.

So, if we are expecting him to play fit-of-fold on the flop or ton that generally means he is going to have something when he finally does call.
This means the EV of barreling turn will be lower than usually and it might make sense to check rather than 2-barrel.

As played I might think about firing river since this is the only shot we have of getting him off a Kx. Then again he might not be the type of guy to fold a Kx so it depends. Either way vs fit-or-fold guys our default strategy should be to fire once and then give them respect if they call.

Perhaps checking the turn would have been better, but there some problems also, isn't there?

If I check the turn and he checks behind and I make my straight or trips or two pairs on the river, it's hard to get him AI when there's only 23,50$ in the pot and 43$ left.

Also if I check, he might bet 3/4 pot or pot, so I'll get cheaper, if I bet myself half the pot. Half the pot bet makes pot 47$, so he'll probably pays rest 32$ with most kings and all two pairs/sets.

He might go AI thought, whitch makes my blockish semibluff bad *grin*

I agree I don't have so much fold equity thought, he doesn't have many pure floats in his range.

I balanced between checking and betting the turn. Decided to bet small because of these reasons and also because I would have been confused what to do when/if he bets. I guess we would have paid small bet and folded to AI but what about pot size bet?
