Lost value?

Villain is SLAA over 25 hands. KT, KQ, AQ are definately in his calling range. I think my river play was bad because I'm calling his bet/push regardless. How much should I bet on the river?

Hand 1) bet $9.75-$11 for value and never check this!

Hand 2) Unusual, Push when he min-raises your turn bet, no need to save the $7??

hand 1: 1/2 pot for value. Bet the flop also.

hand 2: bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop. bet the flop.

also, just push over his turn minraise w/ so little behind. But mostly, bet the flop.

Hand 1) Yes i would just as well bet for value, bet river something like 1/2-2/3 of pot.

Hand 2) Interesting cr on flop, maybe bet turn little harder something like 7.5-8. Put him all in when he raises, as we want to punish him if he has the J or turned FD and is drawing.

1: Bet pretty big on all streets so you can shove river for less than pot.
2: Bet the flop

Reminds me of a chapter in NLH:T&P. I should re-read that book!

Hand 1: Your flop raise is kinda small. Your raise is only the equivalent of a half pot bet. (2 in pot, he bets 1, which you have to match, so pot is 4 and you're only making him call 2 more) I'd make it $4.5, which makes the turn pot ~$11. Then you can bet $7.5, so the river pot will be $23. Now you can put him all in he'll have less than $10 left anyway..

Hand 2: I'd bet $1.5 on the flop, but as played it worked out ok, now you have to shove the turn.. he likes his hand by his minraise so just put him allin.

That's where I learnt that concept

hand 1 bet river. hand 2 get all in on turn.

and for both lead out the flop.
