I got confused on what to do with hand for some reason... I maybe thought they would bet out and I feel like I missed some value.

Button ($4.29)
SB ($3.10)
BB ($3.01)
UTG ($2.70)
Hero (MP) ($6.32)
CO ($0.92)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A

1 fold, Hero raises $0.30, 1 fold, Button calls $0.30, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.66) A

Hero checks, Button checks

Turn: ($0.66) 3

(2 players)
Hero bets $0.33, Button calls $0.33

River: Heros action? bet? I am guessing this is a probably an easy bet but for some reason I missed it :( .

Bet the flop. You opened big pre- and got one caller. Great.

Also a great flop. You obviously want to play as big a pot as possible. What makes you think checking the flop makes this more likely to happen than betting out? Yes, you can create some scenarios where he'll call a turn bet with a hand that would fold to a flop bet. But the likelihood of getting a second street of value from those hands is fairly low, so it seems like you're not giving up a lot of potential value, if any, while not affording yourself the chance to get 3 streets worth when he has enough for that to happen may well give up more even after factoring relative frequency.

No matter what comes on the river, I would still value bet.

You mean you check on the river. There is no scare card on the river and so i thought Im ahead whatever comes. He called your 1/2pot bet on the turn so ill still bet 1/2pot on the river. 2/3pot bet on the river, he might fold.

Bet the flop. You're not going to win a good sized pot if your opponent doesn't have something that they will call with. Maybe you induce one flop bluff, but that's it. You also risk giving free cards, etc...

Any ways, bet more on the turn and bet all rivers.

if you not betting the flop ( which is ok to do when we smash the deck this hard) we need to be bombing the turn

i dont like checking back this texture but if it was super dry like A83 rainbow i like it more bc we don't worry about giving free equity to draws on this type of board as much ( people generally fold 24, 25 type hands)
