Line check - A5s SB 3-Bet, flopping top pair on a wet board

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (4 Players) BB: $5.00
CO: $5.25
BN: $5.00
SB: $5.00 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is SB with A 5
CO raises to $0.15, BN folds, Hero raises to $0.60, BB folds, CO calls $0.45
Flop ($1.25) A 8 T
Hero bets $0.60, CO calls $0.60
Turn ($2.45) A 8 T 4
Hero checks, CO checks
River ($2.45) A 8 T 4 5
Hero bets $1.18, CO calls $1.18

Villain was 28/20 after 99 hands.

From the time perspective I feel that my flop bet was okay on that kind of a board? C-betting selectively for protection and to maybe put pressure on medium Ax? I feel though the sizing was too small. About the turn I propably should continue aggression? The river is self explanatory. Thanks for opinions.

If you are cbetting this flop selectively (which I think you should), you need to protect your checking range and a weak Ax is a good candidate to do so with. What are you really protecting against? Flush draws? A flush draw isn't folding. Any other Ax probably has you outkicked. Only reason to bet here is for value and I think you have better Ax for that.

I personally would have X/C flop and lead turn if villain checked behind. River is a clear value bet.

Played fine, as long as you not overcbetting. If you doing it, your strategy will be weak and not gaining EV you want.
This hand however okay example as low frequency cbet and x/call twice brick run out (unblocking variety of bluffs).
