    Default Straight on a flush board-TT

    Villain is unknown but i was 90% sure its a fish with stack sizes and some sort of a starting fishy table(utg posted).

    My Bet Sizing is horrible on this coordinated board?

    His range would be mainly Tx(unlikely),Jx,two pairs and flush draw on turn.Villain range just seems so weak on the river.

    No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($50.75)
    UTG ($50)
    MP ($33.35)
    Hero (Button) ($50)
    SB ($50)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 10, 10
    UTG (poster) checks, MP calls $0.50, Hero bets $3, 3 folds, MP calls $2.50

    Flop: ($7.25) J, 9, 8 (2 players)
    MP checks, Hero bets $5, MP calls $5

    Turn: ($17.25) 8 (2 players)
    MP checks, Hero bets $10, MP calls $10

    River: ($37.25) Q (2 players)
    MP checks, Hero bets $15.50, MP calls $15.35 (All-In)

    Total pot: $67.95

    Turn bet is really bad imo. If you think that's his calling range idk why you are betting, we can still get value from his missed draws (when he bluffs) and 9x on a lot of rivers and getting crai on the turn is total gay.

    There's a reason why we play pots in position remember.

    He didn't get C/R on the river - the station called. Every street. His range is virtually any one-pair hand, trip 8's, F/H, or flush. Even a chop str8 or KT for sickness value. I'm not sure the river shove was bad. Against a fish, I'm not that nervous, but flushes and boats show up in enough of his range to shut it down. You feel nauseous when villain tables 5c6c for a gutshot/flush draw. Or 98 for turned boat.

    More often than not, you win the pot with the str8, but it's drawy enough that checking down makes sense against a villain who's shown no reluctance to call your continued aggression. Fish usually think "I'll just let him bet, he won't stop." They don't often think, "He might check behind so I'm losing value if I don't bet out the river here."

    TURN bet is really bad. River bet is close and I don't think it matters much one way or the other (I think it's a shove cos he can have like QK/AQ/QJ/J9 and the large majority of flushes are shoving).

    River is close, turn is clear check.
