Just curious if this is standard. Bet sizing?

saw flop|saw showdown

BB ($4.27)
UTG ($5.99)
MP ($2.68)
CO ($4.97)
Hero ($4.97)
SB ($6.32)
Hero is Button with .
Pre-Flop:
UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls, Hero raises to $0.10, 2 folds, UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls.
I wasn't sure what the best play PF was. I think I'm either raising or folding this as no one has raised. I don't like overlimping. Probably should have raised to like 0.14. Does that sound about right?

Flop: (Pot=$0.43) (4 players)
UTG checks, MP checks, CO checks, Hero bets $0.37, UTG calls, MP folds, CO folds.
TP 2nd kicker on a drawy board. I think my bet may have been a little too big at 84% of the pot. Maybe 0.30-0.33 would have been better?

Turn: (Pot=$1.17) (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $1, UTG calls.
Turn is practically a blank so I bet out again. Once again, about 85% of the pot. Too big? 0.78-0.85 better?

River: (Pot=$3.17) (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks.
He check-called me all the way and now one of the worst cards in the deck hits. I don't think there's any way I'm betting here. The small value lost from JT or T9 hands is the price of finding out if he chased with a draw.


Be brutal.

PF I would probably raise more due to the number of limpers, probably .12-.14, Flop is standard for such a drawy board and so many runners, I think a smaller bet would have left more callers in the pot.
Turn could have been a bit less, but against two flush draws and a straight draw I dont blame you for betting close to the pot.

I am checking behind on this river also, I dont think villian is calling anything we beat but he is calling with the straight or flush.

I don't think he's calling with a flush. He's probably check-raising with it. Maybe with a straight, too. About the only hands calling a river bet would be QJ or QT. Not enough hands paying off to justify a bet.

I'd probably make it 14c preflop, but after that is fine.

I might be slightly less on the flop, 33c or something like you said. But there's nothing wrong with 37c.

My main reason for posting this hand was a sanity check on the bet sizing. I've been keeping it at 4xBB+limpers since this hand, though occasionally I'll miss the UTG limp when everyone else folds to me OTB. I don't think 2 cents is that big of a deal. I absolutely hate hands like this because I'm trying to win the maximum while losing the minimum when the inevitable flush card hits. And yes, villain had some raggy hearts and hit his hand. I, of course, said in chat, "Nice slowplay."

i agree with everyone, only thing i would change if pf raise.
