Hello. My question for this one is should I be betting the river as well to keep repping the A, for the times villain checks back a weak 8 or 9 on flop? Thanks

Cbet flop and turn... you didnt bet the flop.

River is just burning money

No reads on opponent so i guess its a check/fold as played

Yep. The jack hits hands that call the flop too.

Alright so I should have cbet flop, and continued on the A?

What would you define the flop cbet as? A bit of protection and value?

If I was to assume SB is a decent enough player, is my flop cbet getting called by most of his range anyway? If I'm thinking this way I can assume that most of the time he hits this board he has a set or pocket pair below TT, all the rest are over-cards, so wouldn't a delayed cbet be a better play here with middle pair?

Sorry I'm just trying to get my head around it, I dont mean to question anyone

A lot of baby pairs call the flop... overcards like kq kj may fold but could float

U bet the A cuz better hands will fold and we are bluffing at this point where our cbet could be for value

That jack just gives our opponents worst hands turn nutty and couldnt name any worse hands folding well not many also bvb ppl get much stickier

So class ur hand when u bet.. will better hands fold? bluff... worse hands call its a value bet

Hope that helps newayz
