Re: 1st SS post
Preflop raise is beautiful: isolate against a likely blind-thief with medium pocket pair, better position, and dead money from the blinds. Bravo.
Flop is standard: you've got to push your pair and hopefully push him off his draw.
Turn card is blank, and you bet it. CO has given you no reason to play it differently.
River card is not blank. Given how passive CO has been, I think I probably bet this one, but calling is probably better. If CO had been calling a weak K, you're dead. If CO had been calling a 7, he's setting up a check-raise on the river. If CO had been calling a 3 or overcards, he could easily fold (depending on the read that we don't have). Absent any read, I think checking through makes sense. If we knew he was a standard passive fish or calling station, betting would be in order.
Well played, and welcome to small stakes.
