River value bet size

I would make it bigger preflop - 3 bb's + 1 bb per each limper + 1 bb because are oop. So, in this case, I would make it $0,60. Then, would bet a bit bigger on the flop. I like the turn and river.

Definitely must try to correct preflop and postflop bet sizes.

Yep, iso bigger pre, bomb flop, bomb turn, jam river. You have the nuts - do you not like money? ♦

Seriously though, if you don't have the pot button on your slider and you are playing against such players then that's a pretty big leak. I'm curious as to why you only bet the flop half pot?

I think he calls me there with a lot of hands independent of bet size and I only have a pair of Jacks

Thanks for your comments guys

Not so bad for a first hand, huh!

But we can see he's really fishy and probably really wide, so he can have many worse jacks, loads of hands like 9x and FDs and SDs and even floats, so while you do *only* have a pair of jacks, you basically have the nuts against a really wide range and you said it yourself that he will call any size - so get some value.

This sort of thing I think will probably apply to many of the hands you play, not just this one, and it will cost you money. In this case you left him with $10 when you could have left him with $4 - you would have made twice the amount you did. To be results oriented he definitely was not going to fold that hand if you potted it on all streets. So when you have a value hand in future I think it's really important to bomb it especially against bad players.

If you think villian calls with alot of hands independent of bet size (inelastic calling range) then we should bet big

The best way to exploit an inelastic calling range is to bet big for value - (meaning his folding % does not change given out betsize) in this spot i'd bet bet bet and fold to a raise

also take note of limp call AKs and that he didn't raise this flop with nut draw and two overs
