My opponent here was an unknown reg.
Standard open. Good board for my hand but I am checking alot here, maybe as I opened from BU and didn't get donked into I could bet some hands here but I think A6 is a fine check.
Amazing turn, I decided against raise versus overbet, though maybe I should have raised
River a bit of a disaster, especially when villain checks. The question here is what sizing to go for, I am betting here alot to get my opponent off a chop but in this case I have value (albeit still losing to 76 which would likely play this way). I went for a size I thought would work, but it didn't, I thought this would get called alot, looking like i was trying to get him off a chop. To be honest I have no idea what size I should go for here, theoretically probably overbet, although I would expect most regs to check alot of 6x and 76 on the river. Thoughts?

Preflop
Standard open.

Flop
I would tend to fire here with a decent draw, but checking some percentage of the time is almost certainly GTO strategy.

Turn
I would also just call, even if he had gone for a smaller sizing like 2/3 pot. You dont have the nuts here, and if stacks go in, you are usually either chopping or beat. You also hold Ah, which makes you less worried about a potential flush coming on the river.

River
You want to make it look like, you are trying to bluff him off a chop, and I think, your sizing is fine for that.

This is the kind of hand that we want to bet on the flop as soon as possible. Many times we are going to miss the turn. Thus we want to make villain fold right away and when it calls we still have plenty of equity to play turn and river.
Now on the turn I don't like raising because most likely we own the nuts. There aren't too much bluffs here and our intention is to allow villain and its bluffs to continue firing on the river.

I think a cbet is fine, but note even if unimproved we can basically call any turn bet, any heart, overcard even board cards. Potentially we will face some turn bluffs that we are ahead of, and we may even be able to bluff catch rivers depending on the runout ( plus we get there sometimes)

C-Bet sometimes, checking sometimes is OK too. As played, raise turn. If he's betting into you there you want to get value from his draws and his Ax. As played, over bet the river.
