Opponent is fishy and doesn't seem aggressive. Can't see him min raising a worse 9 often enough here. Had him on a flush draw from the turn on and sticking with it, which he did end up having.

UTG wins $79

When top pair is a T or higher, checking becomes more profitable since most people at small stakes have bet when passed to disease. We know we'll get the entire range to bet the flop, with not a ton of worry about bad turn cards.

A few more potential draws or worse hands hit the turn. Want to bet for value and make sure we don't allow free cards.

Most of our opponents range based on how the hand played is missed draw. Especially considering the weak flop bet and just a call on the turn. When most of our opponents range is predominately weighted towards draw instead of 2nd best hands, we check looking to call most bets.
CO shows T:spade: K:club:
In this case he turned a T, which he may have called a river bet, but not much more than what was bet.
HERO wins $32.3
Common re-steal from reg spot.

We know regular will be ISOing light. Good hand to have if we happen to get called. We won't be over committed post flop in many situations.
HERO wins $10

Flop bet could mean anything and in position I want to take initiative in the hand so I can possibly turn my hand into a bluff on later streets if the opportunity presents itself.

Weak turn bet. Opponents range is 22/99+/9x/Jx/QT, x% of the time stubborn smaller pair. Fairly daunting hand range to get to fold out, but we repped the J on the flop and if our opponent doesn't have one or a boat, it's going to be tough for him to call this and a river bet. Only need our opponent to fold 24% of the time to be +EV, but more importantly, the times we can get him to fold that range, it's a range that would normally be crushing us. So it's a huge EV swing. If he just calls we are bombing the river almost always.
HERO wins $26.4
Opponent had: TT fyi...
