A few questions regarding the hand below.
Should our raise on the flop and bet on the turn be bigger?
On the river I am hoping to get value from spiked trips or backdoor flushes may be even some Aces, can we bet bigger here and get a call from those hands?
VS unknown on the river I feel we should never fold vs relatively small check-raise but I do not think we can 3bet shove either is that a correct assumption?

My view:

I would indeed make your flop raise a lot bigger. I would have loved to make it ~$0,65 here.. Making the pot ~$1,60.
Given the fact he calls your raise on the flop.. would he fold much on a turn bet? Do you think size would matter for his decision?
I don't think so on both questions.. We can make a pretty large bet on the turn (near pot). Say $1,50 and get it all-in ourselves on the river..
If he beats you, there's nothing you could have done.. Just well played in that case.

As played:
Yes, a bigger raise would have been possible. Again, as the hand is played.. would he fold a lot of his combinations that also tend to b/c flop and x/c turn on this board? Do you think he would have called a $2,- bet if he would call a $1,- bet? (not knowing he is gonna raise you)

As played on the river: We are never going to fold this indeed.. A call is just fine!

Hi Steel,

Always look at your stack size and see how big of a pot you want to play. I'd like to play for a full stack so I'd want to raise bigger for value. Bigger raise on flop = bigger turn bet = bigger river valuebet.

And as played river is an easy shove. Vllain will rarely fold a flush (diamonds) or Qx.
