really enjoyable, loved the in depth analysis also kudos for having the balls to include a "bad river" call :-)

Think about sizing your river bet based on villains range, if that range contains more weak hands then bet as small as 30% pot

Hard to see any hands in villains range that have zero sdv and need to bluff, lots of missed Tx str8 draws are potential winners versus our weak line.
Maybe bet ~$6 on the river and fold to a raise. I mean villain can't perceive any fold equity here right.
Gross spot. May play out easier if we check flop? What does flop bet achieve?

It's good to understand balanced or capped ranges but, imho, at 10nl there are very few opponents who will understand or consider those concepts.
On paired boards its hard for even tight ranges to have hit so I cbet this board versus 1 opponent 100%, probably bet ~$0.42( half pot ) and expect to find a fold more often than not.
Turn Q is a good card to barrel but again I think half pot will show a similar success rate to a larger bet and save us $ when villain calls.
Third barrel is unlikely to succeed so I think I wave the white flag at this point.

Call, often passive fish get tired of being iso'd and go nuts, ala Robster' example of A7s.

No, you cannot fold the flop here. There is little to learn from these spots, @ 10 nl most of your oppo's will get it in here with lots of hands you beat QQ,JJ,99,88,AT sometimes even AK though I'd expect AK to check raise ai.
You will lose sometimes in this spot but expect to be ahead more often than not.

Star casino in Sydney is one of the healthiest cash games outside of vegas, games run all day every day and are super soft.
Travel wise, my not to miss on east coast would be..
Whitsunday islands
Byron bay
Fraser island ( rent a 4x4 for at least 1 day its a fun way to see this wonderful place)

tyvm, really well put answer, bloodied my risk averse nose :-) but I needed it.

Also, do we really need to embrace the variance of 3,4 and 5b wars to beat 25nl?

I think if you called this series "getting away from big hands" or something similar, we could approach it with a more embracing frame of mind and would certainly be more prepared to hang in there. As it stands, really tough watch despite some really good advice therein.

excellent content and very well explained, then again if you can make a player of Gareth Cash I shouldn't be surprised :-)
OTR villain has ~$3 and pot is almost $11, check call only has to win 1:4.5 times to break even, that said I probably check turn or check flop bet turn, may even plan to check call bluff catch. Depends on villain.
