I think you could have gotten away with at least half-pot on the flop. I usually will bet 1/2 to 3/4 depending on the image of my villian. Your bet of 185 could look like a fishy value bet or donkish depending on your image. It is good to try and keep the same betting pattern for good hands and bad ones. If you suddenly change people become suspicious.

Yeah, you bet size is pretty bad here. Don't change your bet sizing just because you want someone to come along. That is exactly the type of situation which breeds beats. Bet as you would any other situation, if they have something and are going to come along then they will call, if not they fold and you got the max value out of the hand. Every strong hand you hit won't necessarily get someone to stack off to you (would be nice though wouldn't it). No reason to check, play slow or get fancy, just bet your strong holdings like any other hand.

I'd c-bet like 400. Then I'd bet about 450-500 on the Turn. Then I'd shove the River if my opponent was still around.

Never check flop. You should be c-betting this flop texture 100%, so checking 1. is suspicious 2. makes your c-bets less believable if you show down. 3. makes it super hard to get stacks in, because he will be checking back a ton.

I would bet, 450, 800 shove for 1,310. It makes him have to call the river because it would be 1,310 into a poot of 3,375. Also you only have to bet 1/2 pot on the other streets to set up this shove.

Thanks for the help guys. Gotta fire every street and let go of the induce/slow play monster(one of my leaks) . If they have a piece, they will come along.
