daven will become famous soon enough
Only been at the table a few hands - no history on villain.
Pre-flop is standard I think
On the flop I've been altering my c-bet size a lot recently, too small here?
Turn I don't want to fire again.
River, ok. Hand ranges. Villain min-raise/called pre-flop. I think range is likely AQ/AJ/TT/JJ. AQ will call any raise most likely, the rest fold to a big bet. Thinking about it now I like one of $10 or push. I believe that some hands will call $10 but fold to a push, especially as I look as though I'm slowplaying AK/KK after the action pre. Thoughts?

First, your continuation bets should be somewhere between 1/2 of the pot and the full pot. Any less and you're not denying pot odds on all sorts of draws, regardless of whether you actually have a hand or not, and any more and your risk-reward ratio starts to suck.

Second, the pot is $13.75 to you, so a raise to somewhere around $13-15 seems about right.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Your bet sizing on every street is too small. Make it at least $3.50 preflop and bet 3/4 on the flop. You should consider betting the turn, an A is often a good card to double barrel and will fold out mid pocketpairs most of the time (which I think is his most likely holding here).

I raise to $20 because I think a random A and possibly a K calls.
