    Thanks guys

    Agree with pre. I need to stop just mashing the pot button

    I think the river is pretty thin but ok vs this guy - FWIW I'm confident that villain will call with any Tx that floated flop as any sort of straight draw. Combo wise I expect Qx/Kx to be fairly equally represented in his range, plus he should raise the flop or turn with the former some non-zero% of the time, passive though he is. Same applies on the turn for AJ and J9, not sure he always calls the flop with the former which helps us slightly.

    Turn I think I perhaps could have bet a little bigger to continue to charge Jx. I mean, I should be able to do that without losing value from Kx/JJ/Tx.

    Given my target range, is anybody thinking I should v-bet any bigger on the river? My sizing in these thin spots is something I've been trying to improve.

    What do you mean by this?

    On the turn my opponent will probably continue to draw with his transparent OESD (any hand with a jack in) regardless of how much I bet (realistically). I should be able to successfully lay him a worse price to draw with these hands while still extracting value from worse kings and tens. So I'm thinking $5.25ish on the turn. In a nutshell, the optimal river sizing in this spot basically needs to be the highest amount that villain will call with a ten.

    Okay, so how did you get to $5.25?
