Preflop is meh OOP and everything... Pot flop, turn looks ok and half-ish pot on the river

On the river,with your bet you make it apparent that you're not worried about anybody making a pair of A's or Q's. This makes it less likely to get a call unless you're beaten. It's better to check &amp; call,imo. This may encourage an op to bet a hand that he would not have called with. If he has AA, QQ, or AQ, you lose either way, &amp; there's nothing you can do about it.

After consideration, I think you're right, Morrek. 1/3 to 1/2 on the river is probably a higher +EV play than the check. Thanks. Ben.

fold preflop you check fold 70% of missed flops and on times you hit something it is very uncertain you will get paid off even if you nail your hand because most people raise with wide range of hands from the button.

bet more on the flop.. 2/3 at least or sometimes check raise

turn bet is good.

river bet 1/2 and fold to raise. push will never get called by a worse hand.

You want to extract chips from the worst hands and this river push does not. Im 1/2 to 2/3 betting river, and most times im folding this preflop oop.
