Since you have the under-full, perhaps just calling OTR is the way to go.
I do that a fair bit in such places, but I'm 🐔, and I often think there is money to be made in value betting.

What's the idea about the over bet on the river? Also your starting stack is weird. I recommend using the automatic reload option to solve this.

Cheers,

thought process on turn call on wet board? WHY? any reads on villain?

turn is a good spot for a raise, then if called i would jam river, presuming villain is on draws or just made a set of jacks. I would also jam river on a brink, or any paired card like so.

I think on the flop this board hits both players ranges pretty well, BTN has almost no equity advantage, maybe 52%. They both have alot of the same nut hands in their ranges but BB's range is a bit wider than BTN's. Because we don't have much of an equity advantage on the flop I think we want to check a hand like 33. On the turn When villain decides to lead and he still has his whole range from the flop since it essentially went check/check. On the turn when villain bets I think he would do so with a Jack heavy range, sets and two pairs, there are some straight draws and flushdraw's I think he could also betbut I decide to just flat call keeping his range wide with all of his weaker Jx, Tx and draws.I wanted to give him an opportunity to bluff those on the river if they miss. On the river I thought when villain checks I thought he could be trapping with some Jx, he could be checking marginals like Tx looking to call down and some busted draws. My idea was that I wanted to get max value from villains pairs on the river, by betting big on the river my range looks polarized and we could get more value from hands that really want to call like Tx, 99, Jx. and there are so many broken draws that I could have. At 2nl I did not really give villain only higher full's on the river I thought he could do this with even a straight or any Jx .

Looking back I think biscuit as good point, Should I probrably raise turn for value given how many draws are out there?

is indeed a decent spot for a raise on the turn.
Especially if villain doesn't like to fold you could get a lot of value.
Don't forget you most likely deal with a player that doesn't think to much about ranges and so on.
What's the idea of your 69bb starting stack?

@casey
Not the first time SDK as said something about stack? Maybe not playing attention at tables and distracted?

If I lose more than 3 buy ins I dont top up or reload. I just use what I have left and stop playing for the day

Do you play some midstack strategy or why don't you play with 100bb?
You miss quite a lot value playing under 100bb.

Hmmm, well I would rather play with 100bb and proper BRM. If you don't have enough money in your bankroll rather reload some from your side hustle or pocket money or whatever because it affects your mindset even you do not realize it.
