Hi,

Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $5.02 (100.4 bb)
BB: $3.57 (71.4 bb) (VPIP:62.00;PFR:10.00;Hands:39)
UTG: $6.66 (133.2 bb)
Hero (MP): $6.02 (120.4 bb)
CO: $6.96 (139.2 bb)
BTN: $8.40 (168 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A A
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.15, 3 folds, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.32) 9 T 2 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.15, BB calls $0.15

Turn: ($0.62) 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.59, BB calls $0.59

River: ($1.80) T (2 players)
BB bets $1.73, Hero folds

Preflop - I raise AA in MP. A recreational player on the BB calls.

Flop - I bet 1/2 pot. BB calls.
Turn - I decide to bet the pot since the 3c brings more proyects. BB calls.
River - BB bets the pot. All draws he could possibly hold missed. He can has the Tx, as well as a 9x and maybe lower pocket pairs. Finally I decide to fold because I felt I would be facing a ten too often.

Would you have called the river?

Thanks

If he is that loose, maybe u can open raise bigger... u could experiment 4x w ur strongest holdings, for example, and see if he still calls it.
Flop I would bet bigger, like 2/3.
Turn liked the almost pot bet.
River, well... if he is kind passive (like almost all fishes) u can find this fold. Dont think its bad at all.

Varying your size according to the strength of your hand is bad advice. If you decide to raise bigger vs that villain, you raise bigger.
I would bet bigger on flop as board is not dry.
Call me a nit ,but I am not calling river. The line of villain is mostly for value on your limit.

Against well thinking players it is bad. But against weaker players it is adviced to play exploitative.

Against weak players our value range is wider.

Sure. Against a fish that calls too much (like villain seems to be), u can raise ur strongest hands and exploit his loose calls without worrying too much, cause the majority ll just dont note these small differences and ll not adapt.

Flop and turn sizing: On average, the turn bet should be smaller percentagewise than the flop bet. By reasoning "the turn card brings more outs", you can always lure yourself into betting more percentagewise on the turn than on the flop. The thing is, the effective number of outs almost always goes down (because there is only one card to come), as does the implied odds villain has. Also, he isn't chasing a BD flush every day (with which he couldn't call a pot bet on turn anyway). Thus, pot bet flop and half pot turn here would make sense, not the other way around as it was played.
