vs unknown 10nler at merge i'm betting pretty big here, like 4.50-5 probably

78, 89, A8, A3, 9T, JQ, K8, J8, J9 - Im betting 3.5 hoping to get a call from any of these hands.. any more I think he just folds.. Sometimes overbet works here too, but we dont know enough about villain imo.

I like 3.5 as well

there are actually arguments for both betting small to induce since there were a lot of draws and they all bricked and just overbet shoving since its nl10 and ppl like to call, especially since even tho its an overbet its only 1 dollar of real world money. Since you have no reads either line is fine imho.

just bet big, it's nl10 and your opponent is more likely to be passive station

3/4 bet is a decent size against an unknow with this hand. you get calls from Qx and also from 8x (maybe) and who knows? he looks like a passive station because if he had any value hand he most likely would c/r at the turn.

if you had all the proper variables about unknowns at these stakes this could be a really interesting/complicated math problem, but I'd guess this is pretty marginal as long as you click the bet button

you played it perfectly so far...now bet at least $5 or more again.

we need to be punishing really bad fish at every opportunity...and that's pot/pot/pot expect skyhigh winrates by betting large and fast with your big hands.
