Session Review NL25

Just got a couple of hands I wouldnt mind a line check on:

Hand 1:

Villain was 36/11.
Should I vbet river? Should I have check/called turn

+ Show Spoiler +

Hand 2:

Villain was 21/16 but if I remember right he was very aggressive whenever his opponents showed any weakness

Should I fire another barrel now I have FD? If I do, and miss, am I c/f river or can I fire 3 barrels?

+ Show Spoiler +

Hand 3:

No stats as I just sat down.

I put him on something like 66-88. Is the river worth a raise?

+ Show Spoiler +

1: turn is good; b/f river about $7 if he's a massive station otherwise c/f usually.

2: b/f turn, there's not much particular reason to expect him to raise so it's all good, and if you are going to call you might as well bet.

3: why put him on 66-88? his range is much bigger here. flat anyway; qj beats you.

1. Basically agree with Oly. Would bet turn a little more - closer to pot. The draw is there, you almost certainly have the best hand so you want to get as much of his money in as possible. He almost always has Ax here - bet fold river - $7 is good - depends what you've seen him pay off before.....
2. Your question is very villain dependent. With his stats he may well know you are firing a cbet on an A high flop most times and is an easy float opportunity for him. I would bet turn like $5 - like Oly says c/c is pretty horrible - you may as well control the bet sizing. If he calls and the river is a blank I am probably giving up....he could have a busted club draw if the river misses but I think he has an ace or PP too many times.
3. Agree with Oly. Flat is the only way here on a paired board with back door flush. The river bet could be weak or it could be inducing a raise. If you review his play there's a lot he could have that beats you and is he going to call with worse that top pair + the paired board? Not often enough imo.

oly gives good advice

1)wft dont bet river unless he's a super stupid station
2)/3) agree with Oly

1) And he seems to be? Vbetting smallish when he calls with any Ax like 100% is fine imho.

would bet like 3.5 at river @1, as a blocker
rest agree with oly. btw his range is notthat often 66-88 in that hand, its far more nuts or air that bets there

Thanks for the replies.

Hand 1, yeah i did value bet river. he showed up with AJ :S
Hand 2, i bet turn and c/f missed river. guess thats pretty standard
Hand 3, my read was really off because I value raised that river to $5. He called with AT!

I can't remember how NL25 plays tbh, but in hand 2 I'm jamming the river very often against regs (and a lot more often if there was no fd on flop unless river completes it obv), mostly they will put down their ace. But I didn't start adding these 3 barrel spots into my game til like NL100 so whatever.

Hand 1:
I'd bet more on flop, bet more on turn. River is a C/F.

Hand 2:
What is up with these low raises? Am I the only one who bets at least 3/4 on these limits vs donks?

I wouldn't even Cbet here with 3 people on flop and an A and T out there. If the opponents on stars are anything like ipoker, they'll call with just T there.

Hand 3.
im confused...
