Comment:

PREFLOP:
My sizing is kindda off, not really any sense to it.

FLOP:
c-bet ok, sizing ok, but beware of connected board.

Turn:
Should have check/folded?

River:
This is my doubt, with a board like this is the fold correct? I think he has somethink like top pair top kicker, two pair, or better, but not a set of 4. There is no way my hand beats about anything besides top pair with low kicker. What range do you think he has?

Moral of the story: Don't play when tilted, you'll build too many big pots!

I believe that betting the flop and the turn are fine and probably the sizing on the flop could be bigger. As the river is concerned, I don't see much worse hands calling and I don't see much worse hands betting if we check so I think I would check/fold the river, except he bets small.

What do we want to achieve with the double barrel?

This may be a too creative idea, but how about getting value from worse hands?

I believe he could have worse Ax, flushdraws and gutshots that are calling flop and turn, so I think we need to protect our hand and get value.

I don´t isolate this hand without reads OOP but it can be OK.

As played probably OK to bet twice, I would use smaller sizing on the turn since our hand is not super strong. On the river I like x/fold. Even his river sizing don´t look like a bluff.

Even AK will have hard times calling 2 barrels here.

Thanks for the feedback, I learn a ton with every hand I post here.

It just kills me to fold on the river, but that's just something I have to get past.

I generally bet 2/3xpot as a standard, wouldn't changing the sizing give away information?

You can bet like 1/2 or around that in this exact case on turn, and -no, this size will not give away info.

In theory maybe, but not against bad player.

preflop is a mistake if you dont have a plan. raising limpers is much better when you have some bits of information about what type of limper he is.
with no extra reads, definitely double barrel, 2/3 is fine (you have to believe in your hand :f_biggrin: so much garbage that calls on this board), xf heart and broadway rivers is fine.
