what is optimal now? + did i fuck up on previous streets?

Reckon I might shove this river as played. Looks like he has TT+ TJ and bricked straight draws. Doesn't look like he wants to fold.

Not a fan of flop.

flop good, turn good

river $6.25

Isn't pre bad?

I don't get it - Why so small? Doesn't look like he's folding and our hand is well disguised.

Depends on how often we can take it away with air.

I get pre, I don't get flop. Seems like we're just paying him off when he has better and getting folds when he has worse.

Once again, depends on how often he folds.

My concerns are that we're folding out big Ax hands instead of giving them the chance to hit an Ace. Also, how often get called, turn trips or 2 pair and get all the money in bad. But those are rare events compared to the value of just winning the pot with a c/r.

This is partly true (although I think villain might sometimes fold 55-77 or call with SD w/o the odds), but when we have a weak made hand oop with no initiative then we are bound to make a lot of mistakes no matter what we do. Check-raising could be the least bad option of bad options.

Betting small will make the most money vs villain's most likely holding - one pair. It might lose some value vs hands like 2pair/set but it's not very likely he's been playing them that way.

I like all streets. River is interesting, a number of his holdings will call a large bet, but a lot won't. If the turn had been nearly any other diamond I'd have probably just shoved the river, but the 7 must have been scary for his overpair type hands.

Not necessarily a rebuttal to what anyone's saying or anything, but what's our value range for c/r'ing this flop? (I know, balance at these stakes lol; I'm genuinely asking out of intrigue).
