I like the pot bet on flop. You charge draws and if someone has a set they should come over the top because you look like AK. You are getting it all-in on the river so push here so the flush draw makes a mistake. You are up against a flush draw or weaker ace most of the time.

With deeper stacks, I like to keep the pot manageable so half pot on the turn and 2/3 pot on a safe river would be my normal line against an unknown in calling station mode.

If any red card didn't make a flush I would check here. As it is I would bet 15.

Normally I would of gone 2/3pot on flop, 2/3pot on turn.

Since you potted the flop, 1/2 pot on the turn may be ok. The pots starting to get pretty big for 1 pair.

If you bet $12 and he came over the top for your last $25, you could get away from this against a solid player.

Bet 20 on the turn, to much stuff out there. If there werent any draws out there, i might check to induce a bet. Your ahead here more often than not

Are you serious? What does a solid player have you beat with here? A duece? Pocket sevens? If he has you beat it's with quads or aces full. His most likely hand is a flush draw or an ace with a weaker kicker.

Don't you think hero is pot committed to call anything on the river witha $20 turn bet? He will have something like $18 to call in a pot of $80 (assuming he checks the river and villain pushes).

I think you either c/r all-in or push. If checked down, check/call a non-scary river. This might the optimal line the more I think about it.
