Villain is 30/8/2 over about 300 hands, nothing special.

Flop I don't like to lead in to so many opponents because I think that too often we get called in several spots and we have a vulnerable hand.

Turn I think I could have bet slightly larger to charge him if he's drawing.

River do we prefer bluff catching? Obviously the board pairing isn't great for us but bet/folding is ridiculous given stacks.

I prefer leading the flop. I don't like the idea of giving free cards when we will pick up calls from many a worse hand (1 card flush draws, straight draws, straights, 2 pair, sets, top pair etc.). I'm happy to bet/3bet this.

I bet $25 on the turn. I think you get just as many calls from worse as you do with a $20 bet.

As played, I'm not sure he bluffs too often here cos the stacks really don't allow it. I don't think he'll be expecting a fold all that much. I prob just shove it in and hope for the best.
