Preflop: Raise bigger, somewhere between 6bb and 8bb.
Flop: This is a good flop to Cbet and I like the sizing too.
Turn: You have the option to barrel here, but checking is fine too. Since the villain bet so small, you have to call.
River: I like the fact that you're leading out and I also like the sizing. The villain will probably call you with any 2 pair combo and maybe even some sticky 1 pair hands. If you were to get raised on the river, you'd be in a very tough spot, but thankfully that didn't happen.

Overall, you played quite well. Good job.

youre definitely right about pre., a 2x - 3x raise is usually pretty good size for 3bet. dont know why i went with 1.5x raise.

i think i checked the turn just because im out of position and i dont want to barrel against a better hand

thanks

as already said OOP you need to 3bet 3x the raise. IMO its good board to cbet and give up if got called and dont improve turn, but turn gave us GS and its an overcard so we can fire 2nd barrel (everything would be even better if board wasnt paired on flop, 2nd barrel would be like only sane option), this way check is OK but scream weakness thats why medicre players often autobet those spots, his sizing doesnt tell us much about his hand but tell us that he is not good player, call is good thing to do here given the odds and possible implied odds, little downers is the fact that were OOP here so we cant rely much on implied odds but its ok to call either way, i like the river stab here vs weak players, he would probably check back weak 2 pairs but wont fold, trips and FH would raise and we have to call against those players cuz we are ahead often enough and our hand is well disguised so 2P+TK(GK) could also think that are good enough

Overall, i like...

Preflop 3b too small. I like about 8 BB.

We should probably be barreling the turn also.

So we 3b to 8 BB. Pot is 17 BB.

Bet flop for about 12 ish BB.

Turn we should bet around 30 BB. River we could just bet smaller if V actually makes it this far.

All in all, line ok. But I like 3b bigger pre, and barrel turn.
