Hey RIO,

I don't know for sure about my play in that hand.
OTF: 25% cbet is fine here? with sets can I cbet larger?
OTT: size issue also.
OTR: My plan here is bet/fold, the villain never raise with worse than flushes, I don't know why I make this call.

What your thoughts about this hand?

I would just bet bigger on every street and fold to a raise on the river. Turn size in particular is too small, but I'd prefer a bigger bet on every street with this hand strenght on this board.

Sizings on every street is too small, as played it's snap call on river given your sizings on all streets. You should have more than one sizing on flop, and middle/bottom sets are one of the best combos to pick a bigger sizing

Wouldn't comment on flop/turn size. River I'm calling, most people will try to raise flush flop or at least turn, and river I can imagine recreational player can be raising worse for value/

Flop -

Sizing looks fine. Your range has a lot of equity on this texture (especially your betting range), therefore you should be using very small sizings. You don't want to go too big as if you do, you will start to push the weaker hands that he is forced to defend into a pure fold, therefore isolating your range against the strongest parts of his range.

Turn - Sizing looks fine. Our betting range OTT needs to size down a little as to not value-cut our hands which need protection.

River - Size up big time. You have now got to the river with a strong range that bet twice as the board texture stayed relatively static while the opponent has not raised, which he should be doing with his stronger hands by this point. Therefore, your betting range at this point is likely composed of 2 big sizes, ~pot and shove. This hand is not absolutely invulnerable and your smaller flushes would like to size down a bit as well.

As played - the call is likely not printing money and in many pools very likely to be a losing call. I would make an exploitative fold and mark this player with a note for future reference. If he continues to do this time up thing you can choose a couple exploitative options (i) check-back flop sometimes to protect against his likely over-aggression (ii) bet/call here. I would lean towards bet/call here as checking back flop is giving his range free equity realization, which in itself can be costly.
