If it's a passive non-raising fish, you can choose to control the pot with small bet sizes and fold to the river's raise.


You can bet 3 streets small on a lot of runouts, so I’d rather b/f the flop and turn here super small.


I’d probably bet flop smaller or x looking to raise turns small as an exploit merge thing (either is fine).

As played I’d check river as recs chase any draw often (too often for sure) so these texture changes are worse against recs.
