Playing HU is not my strongest suit, but...

$0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 2 players

SB: 114.3 BB (VPIP: 44.83, PFR: 34.48, 3Bet Preflop: 20.00, Hands: 30)
Hero (BB): 116.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♥ T♠

SB raises to 3 BB, Hero calls 2 BB

Flop: (6 BB, 2 players) J♣ 3♠ T♣
Hero checks, SB bets 5.7 BB, Hero raises to 15.4 BB, SB calls 9.7 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

is this check/raise big enough? Or should I go for 4x?
Would overpairs or worst 2 pairs call a 4x?

Turn: (36.8 BB, 2 players) 4♠
Hero bets 17.5 BB, SB calls 17.5 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

how big should I go here? Should I always plan my sizing in a way of commiting myself to the pot OTT, with good hands, even OOP?

River: (71.8 BB, 2 players) 4♣
Hero checks, SB bets 34.2 BB, fold

Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

Because the 4 OTR had counterfeited my 2 pair (now better Js are ahead of me and a not that probable QQ as well), I decided to check.
Is this bet size a clear call? Or should I call any size bet at this point?
I thought, apart from pure bluffs I was not beating much on this river and because villain had respected bets and raises up until that point, I decided to let it go.

SB wins 68.3 BB

Pre-flop and post-flop seems fine untill the river I think. Sometimes you can bet the turn a little bit more like 20bb, but this isn't to bad. On the river I would still bet for value and otherwise I would check/call here. I don't think he would bet a flush only in a HU scenario and you beat almost any 2 pair hand.

Cheers,

SDK has said it.
You have the nuts I would say.
I'm going broke on this river. Bet/call, check/call, anything but fold.

I would bet like 30bb turn.. I don't have the stackes sizes by streets to see SPR but overbet could be fine too I guess.. and so I guess you could x/r at least 18bb, it will depends on if Vilain is sticky or not..

Flop I mix between calls and checks HU

Turn definitely go bigger...you 3bet TT JJ and good mix of TJs and have a bunch of bluffs to choose from, your backdoors now have a flush draw
So does he
so I'd go with a check or big bet strategy here

I don't see a 2 pair hand we beat here?
Don't think AJ bets the river
think this is fine to let go at NL10 I just don't see people betting KQ this way (even though range wise they definitely could just bet everything small)
