    Default 2nl SNAP max value OTR

    So, you don't expect this kind of hand when you check from BB, but it ran out well for me and then, here I am trying to get max value from worse hands OTR.

    What do you think of the bet sizing?

    888 Poker - $0.02 NL (6 max) FAST - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    BTN: $2.91
    SB: $6.10
    Hero (BB): $2.75
    UTG: $2.00
    MP: $1.61
    CO: $1.61

    SB posts SB $0.01, Hero posts BB $0.02

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has T J

    fold, MP calls $0.02, fold, fold, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

    Flop: ($0.06, 3 players) T 8 5
    SB bets $0.04, Hero calls $0.04, MP calls $0.04

    Turn: ($0.18, 3 players) 3
    SB bets $0.13, Hero calls $0.13, MP calls $0.13

    River: ($0.57, 3 players) J
    SB bets $0.28, Hero raises to $0.82

    Here's another...different spot, same dilemma...how to get max value?

    H1: I think turn is a fold. Looks good otherwise, looks bluffy when the draws brick and you'll get looked up by worse often enough against a fish. Sizing seems fine too, but probably about the highest you can go.

    H2: looks fine, but I go bigger on river, maybe 36c. It's possible that villain has KQ and weak Jx that doesn't fold. Everything else either folds or leads river, so whether you bet 23c or 36c shouldn't really affect whether we get called or not.

    1st hand i raise it pre and in position with initiative against any old junk he completes.cbet 2/3 pot on flop , 1/2 pot on turn . RIver may check behind depending on his timing and any other reads that stuck in my memory

    2nd hand pre and flop look fine, i'd bet .30 on turn since 4th heart on river will hardly ever get paid off. Again may check behind as played to avoid getting check raised by flushs /boats and got value on the turn.

    h1 I play the same, except I probably call river unless villain has been caught b/c'ing top pair hands at river.

    h2 I bet the turn, hoping to take it down there. If I have reason to believe villain may raise, well I'd check back obv. But as standard I want to semibluff turn because my range has plenty of flushes and boats, while here I actually only have ace high and am more than happy to take the pot down now. River, well as played I bet a little more than this.

    I definitely feel I'm too passive at times but still haven't got the know how to pick my spots yet to be more aggressive. My general rule of thumb is if I have less than top pair OTT I would think about checking back when IP with a view to take a stab at the pot OTR if I am checked to again whether my hands improves or not.

    Thanks for the feedback
