I don't have a ton to add here...

I think your breakdown of the hand is better than you give yourself credit for.

I do agree that I would tend to check back this flop.

The river is really tough. I think I lean towards a call, but I am honestly very uncertain of that.

Would love to hear from others on the whole hand.

Hi.

A nice postflop analysis. I agree with most of what you said and I would agree with a check against a competitive opponent which I would do so with my whole range.

BUT, the most important thing you missed is give any information about the opponent. Was he passive? Aggressive? How loose/tight he was? From my experience most regulars have auto top up set up and don't play with stacks lower than 100bb(true about 90% of the time) and open raising to 3.1bb is a very big size for a regular to use. Now, considering this, I would presume opponent is more likely a recreational player and a rec player on NL5 will have his ranges all around.

With this info I would be inclined to bet/fold flop to $0.85 and shove turn. You don't want to give free cards here and you also don't want action killer cards when he has Tx. Without info you have no reason to discount hands like JT-AT, J9-A9s, 76s, 86s...

I could be wrong and you have some information that he's a competent opponent, but always make sure to check what kind of opponent you're dealing with. You don't want to be balancing yourself against a completely unbalanced player, you'll be losing money that way.

As played, I would fold the river.

Cheers.

"I elect to bet out around 55% of the pot and I really do not know what will call me that I really beat here - maybe AK and AQ will call but very unlikely especially OOP, the hands that call me will usually have massive equity against me or be completely crushing me."

I think your bet is ok - certainly nothing wrong with it in my opinion. Other hands that are calling are KJs which has an oesd 77s, AJo, AT, J9s, J8, JT, 76s etc. Plus some weird hands that float oop. Sets will mostly raise I think cause. Overpairs will mostly 4bet pre so we discount them a lot. Don't think there's much crushing you if anything. You're equity is stable and decent against most of these hands. River fold looks prudent as river improved his range and we didn't improve but this can go either way depending on the player type.

Depends how you structure your ranges here but I'd usually just flat this pre in these positions against a reg. Given hes a shorter stack hes most likely a rec though so like the 3bet and the sizing. Agree with your analysis that should be checking back flop with most of range vs a reg as it heavily favours the preflop caller. However because of the above, I'd agree with burek2000 and bet flop larger and value shove turn yourself, plenty of draws and worse pairs he can be calling off with. River is a fold i think although you could argue that he rarely has sets here and you block the straight. However, don't think you will see worse hands here enough to justify the call.
