Villain looks like a solid rec.

I feel good about my play up to the river. Snowie recommends a pot sized bet on the bricked turn.
But coming to the river, what now.
I actually ended up checking and taking the pot down.

but i am confused by Snowie:
Snowie reccomends betting 0.25 * pot size and FOLDING even to a min raise. This means that Villain has nothing but garbage or hands that beat us in their range.

So at higher limits or versus somebody wich is clearly solid I might agree with the fold.
But at microlimits, where people end up with all kinds of hands, and might even minraise 99-JJ? What do we do here, still fold?

Turn bet should definitely be larger, I would recommend 65-90% pot.

On the River, this card isn't ideal but you might be able to go for thin value with a 50% pot bet. It's the card that people love to bluff on, and he hardly has any AX hands that can call twice besides A8s and AdQd/AdJd. I guess it will increase your fold equity but you can also start thin value betting here as well for balance.
