HERO ? ? ?

Flop: v-betting against 6x and various floats + I have equity in case he has Tx or 9x.

Turn: I have the straight and he has tons of two pair. He might have QJ though.

River: Again the kind of situation that I hate. On the one hand, we have a straight in BvB. On the other, there is :
- a better straight - QJ
- some backdoor BD flush
- there are some FH too

What is the best action here?

Bet fold doesn’t seem bad.

I’d think more about how your hands realize before piling in BBs, for flop/turn.

Hmm, but do we have enough of worse hands that are gonna call us?

It's basically AT/KT/QT/JT and some stubborn 9x/98. If they don't make for 50%+ of total combos, then betting doesn't seem to be a good idea, unless we simply want to turn our hand into a bluff, but can we fold any better hands here...

And if bet/fold, then what would be the right sizing, 1/3? That one seem to often induce raises as well, but I can't think of any other sizing that could make the Tx call.
