I think pre flop is fine, and i know the river call is f**king terrible!!

Pointers please.

its fine

I hate the bet sizing on the turn

stats of the origanal opener?    at these stakes u can just shove over the weak c bet as he prob calls with kq any over pair any jack or any fd. people dont pay 5dollar to fold imo. the best line to take is to not think.  dont get trappy on these boards only hand u beat on the river is a busted kq and after uve taken a strong line he prob wont bluff here as he expects to get called. just play abc u know u have the best hand get slider happy and watch the donkeys line up with the second best hand  and bad odds to improve. . your bet sizing is so so so bad. not a flop to get creative on and u have no idea what draw cards u wanta see when u price donks n u have no idea or define there hands.  u know u have the best hand and with ya stack size and so much equity in the pot on the flop just close the pot down here.  obviously abc is the way to go at these stakes. small raises dont induce bad players to get creative and reraise they just peel and u end up doin what u did and payin peoples rivered nuts off.

jam turn

How many sets do you get? Serious question, you must get them more often than i get pairs.
