i haven't been sitting that long villain is secr32 he runs like 12/10 i think this is a fold my image should not be too great though im more interested in if you think its too thin.

It's hard to tell if your line is thin when we don't know your cards

feexed

I like flop+turn and don't mind the river as long as you snap-folded.

I would never lead the flop so idk. Against secr this is probably a slightlyyyyyyyy plusEV call

i prefer river check call.

leading flop is bad

weird how i think you've turned AJ into a bluffy hand vs a 12/10. bet sizing seems rly bad

imo i rly dislike everything.

once he calls turn your toast.

There's no wai in a million years that I call this.

Da GOAT is right about the turn call... could have had TT at that moment but that's as weak as it gets. I put villain on AA, JJ, or TT.

now i gotta think some more ;)

If hero bets river he's hoping that better hands fold or worse hands call, right. A nit-tag reg villain isn't calling this river bet with less than tptk. He's also unlikely to fold AJ. This is why i think betting is bad.

So checking makes sense.

Means that options are check-call or check-fold.
Hero's line is strong thus far, but looks like he's given up.

I note the argument that villain is unlikely to bet a worse hand when checked to, but I think this is over-stated. Villains bet rivers when checked to more often than they should - even when they have showdown value and should be checking behind. Also, if hero is happy putting in $120 as a bet with no value to be had out of it, then why not just as happily put in $120 with a hand that has showdown value. Gonna be ahead 1/3+ I expect?

check-folding feels too weak here.

as played i think he has to fold.

Why are we betting the flop so big?

So we can set up a pot-sized shove on the river for villain? ;)
