I would just flat call his bet on flop, he raises it from UTG so I don't see him folding a pocket pair and if he has overcards we can just float him.

Don't like the turn bet either, he still isn't folding any pocket pairs. If you were betting this turn I would make it smaller as a blocking bet to see the river cheap.

..raise is too small as well, x/r is ok if he bet/folds overpairs some of the time

I want to balance my raising range soi that when I'm bluffing I can do it more cheaply and I don't think FE changes that much if I 3x it. Also, I'm planing on betting literally every turn and this could give me additional FE on turn. He could definitely be folding PPs smaller than JJ to a turn bet and if not, I still have good equity and if I hit he could peel one more barrel if he's already peeled to. I'm gonna be c/raising a lot of flop against him so it could be pretty exploitable if I called hands with good equity and c/r only with the worse hands and if I c/c on flop I'm gonna be OOP on turn and it's gonna be really hard to get value if I hit.

You don't need to balance at 10nl, nobody pays any attention anyway. Just exploit your villains as much as possible and don't worry about balancing at micro stakes.

dont balance.

i like raising the flop but not continuing on the blankets turn possible. Id only continue on a scare card or equity card.

My guess he had 99 or something

3x is balanced! he doesnt fold anything to your small raise that you dont have extreme equity against or beat..

also, we are bluffing.

everyone saying dont balance at 10nl, this is a simple standard case vs a reg-ish player where we're balancing our raise sizing to fit in with the rest of our value hands so.. yeah balance your sizings but dont go crazy with the whole balance idea.

I'm just flatting the flop c-bet, when you raise (which is fine) i don't mind betting the brick as villains are going to be in a tough spot with a hand like 99 and im probably gonna jam a Q,K,A or heart river, but we have a decent number of outs and ways to win on the river so we probably don't need all that many turn folds to make betting better than check folding, and i wouldn't wanna check jam which would be the only other option when we check.

I say this because its just how i would probably approach the same spot vs a 10nl reg who i think would not slowplay any big hands on the flop, checking the turn is definitely +EV so i don't hate checking, i just havent got time to model the hand to the point i could tell you the EV of checking and the EV of betting this brick, so yeah checking is fine, can't see betting this brick being bad with our equity though.
