I figured that it could make sense to raise the top end of my range, i.e. AAhh, A9hh, 99xx, 9567, and balance this range by raising the marginal hands (that have some equity, not pure air) that rarely improve on the turn like KK no redraw, 9KQJ w/o fd or bdfd. What do you think about this overall gameplan?

Would you even raise the middling part of your value range, with some aggressive dynamic, like the hand we have to get it in?

On this turn my flatting range improved very often. My overall gameplan would be it flat the turn very often with a lot of flushes and balance this by floating some straight draws I picked up and sets I slowplayed.

When it comes to my raising range I am much more insecure. I know I souldnt be raising often here, therefore it is probably not that important anyway. But what kind of sizing would make game theoretical
the most sense? Looking back at this hand I feel like it should be way bigger as my range gets polarized, but maybe I am wrong?
River ($262.00) 5 9 3 Q 6 (2 Players)
JCFe checks, JNandez87 bets $224, JCFe calls $224
On the river I rep the nuts or air here, therefore It makes sense to bet a polarized sizing, means biggish?
Final Pot
JNandez87 has 8 A T 8 JNandez87 wins $707.20
Thanks for sharing and helping
