NL25 QJ

Hi wealthy

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: are you normally cbetting this small on such boards? Why?

As played there are so many draws that villain can raise that I feel your turn call is pretty weak. You can raise there most often.

And what hands do you get value from on the river, if you were to bet?

well I cbet small with this kind of hand because I want to extract more value from weaker made or weaker drawing hands (he has to defend more often), also I could call if he x/r because I get better price and I can induce more bluff + I'm in position and on this board it is a huge advantage, easy to balance calling range vs a x/r. On the turn, I have pair + gutshot and like you said he can have many draws to bluff with so I'm doing good vs his range (I think) + I have a gutshot so I can even win vs a better hand. Because I'm in position I think I can balance my range with other hands that he could't exploit me much by bluffing very often. Why would you bet bigger? Is it a mistake to bet smaller on this spot?

About the river: my friend said to bet on the river so I just wanted to show that I played good on the river ♦

So you cbet small all your weak made hands and some bluffs I'd imagine? why would you want to vary your bet size against regs here? surely you are not betting anything strong like this are you?

I would cbet more around 2/3 with the entire range that we bet here.

vs fish I'd vary the size all day long.
