Hello Aubady,
I hope this answer helps you.
Think flop can be bet bigger, but I don't hate this size. AQhh and AKhh I size it up I think, AJs is kind of on the cusp. He really shouldn't have much better than A9 or so here anyway.
Turn seems ok. You pick up outs vs. 2 pair and still have a monster FD.
River. I hate checking and showing down when I can bet small (like $.20 or so) and either squeeze a tiny bit of value out of a sticky A6 call OR fold all the stuff we already beat and not showdown my hand (nice redline boost too).
I like turn sizing but would bet bigger on the flop. Now for the river. As villain did not raise you preflop, flop, turn and the board is wet there is a decent change that you beat him. So would make a thin value bet (1/2 pot or so) and fold to a re-raise.
because of small size otf you have room for river value-bet. When you bet bigger flop (2/3 for example), you can't valuebet river that effectively so it close EV to check (vs standard opponent)
Thank you for all your comments and the detailed thinking process.
I'll cbet 3/4 flop & turn next time.
