Guy seems like a recreational player concidering his stack size. Have no stats on him.

I think preflop and flop are very standard. I chose a smaller sizing OTF to set up for a turn jam, my plan was to GII on any non-ace turn.

Turn brings an ace and i guess its a relative blanks except that its a scarecard. I think AK is very unlikely here cause it would have been a 4b pre a decent portion of the time. I have a hard time seeing any real Ax hand of his except for AJ.

I decide to check the turn since its a scarecard to a Jx type of hand, in retrospect i think i could have made a small bet but would have to call a raise regardless.

When he pots river i have a hard time seeing any Ax hands that makes sense, and got to the river this way. So i make a call, since i need to be good about 30% of the time and if he can have some Ax hands he can easily have some missed low straightdraws, etc.

In retrospect i think this miiight be a fold, since he is a rec player and i would assume Jx wouldnt bluff and he could potentially have random Ax in his range, also im not sure rec bets rivers like this without a hand.

Would be awesome with some feed back.

Pre and flop seem ok indeed.
OTT I think it might be better to bet small and maybe plan to fold to a raise. Now you let some draws see free cards and pretty much tell villain you don't have Ax.

When it comes to aces in villains range, I think ATs-AQs could be there. Since villain is recreational maybe we have to add some AXo there too.

Since you checked OTT and OTR is a blank, villain might be bluffing more. Theoretically you would have to defend with around 60% of your sd value range in order to deny villains autoprofit with his bluffs. Since you checked turn and don't have many Ax in your river range, KK is the top hand you can have there. On the other hand if villain is not bluffing with total air, I don't see many bluff combos he could be holding. So his range actually looks more value heavy and therefore you could start overfolding?

Villain has an awkward stack and with $10,62 behind on the turn. Then you need to bet extreme small to have still room to fold. I would bet most likely the flop a little bit more against a recreative player with a bet of $4,50 with the intention to shove most turns.

As played I don’t think I would bet the turn and I would give up the river. I don’t think he will bluff enough to make a call profitable.

+1 - I've never seen anybody bluff the ace in a squeezed pot. Just clean your mouth after throwing up and keep on grinding :f_drink:
