Ok so 8 hands at the beginning of the match here we are, decide to mr here just standart hands to range early on no reads, on the flop i really think he would 3bet most Ax on his range and some Tx so i decide to cbet planning to barrel turn also on any JQK and some 9x so i cbet 1/2 pot he smooth call, turn is Jd i really think this card is neutral since it can improve my perceives ranges and also his ranges of flat on the flop some small Tx obv, 7x aswell so i decide to bet again to put the pressure on small Tx-7x to call and im ready to fire a bet on the river is its a good card let say all Q-K-9 and most diamond. River is a 9d which is in my opinion a better card for me than him i really think he always never have 8x and also flush in his ranges (he flat flop and turn) so pretty much putting him again on 7x-Tx that dont wanna fold etc and i really think i should pull the trigger there. So i ship the river and he tank couple seconds and call i was shock when he show this hands...

 

What you guys/girls think of this? How you would play? Is checking back the turn and give up an option? Thanks for all your comments and gl ;)

i would barrel the turn. the

i would barrel the turn. the J is an overcard to second pair and therefore quite a good card to fire again. when the 9 hits though, i would give up. many of his holdings have improved to two pair (T9, J9, 97) and there also are some straights (J8, T8, 87 and 98, which already got there on the turn) that obviously will not fold. if the river had been a blank, like a wheel card for example, a third barrel would have been the right decision, but with the 9 rivered, you´re in trouble.

sorry

Sorry, I posted an hand before where Dipl. did not like my turnbet and I thought it is strange he likes this turnbet more. The big difference between my hand and yours (check 3-barrel bluf) is that I made a re-raise postflop and you made a c-bet. Because of his donkbet and opponent call postflop I could figure out he did not have the ace and that I could actually use the overcard to get weaker pairs to fold. In your case you do not know it, and it could very well be he has an ace. I would also just call your c-bet and  your turnbet when I had an ace and let the opponent do a 3-barrel bluf.
Your c-bet on this board is not as strong as you think. The reason is that almost everyone on this board makes a c-bet.  Your true hand does not connect with the board at all and there are not enough chips in the pot to make a strong turnbet. Considering you have zero outs and no information I think it is best to give this hand up on the turn. But ok, you made the turnbet, which is a bit a small turnbet by the way. A turnbet of 100 or even 120 will get way more folds and I do not see many opponents call a c-bet and than fold to a turn c-bet which is only 80 chips. If I had the ace a bet of 100 or 120 chips would be standard especially because the board became more volatile after the turncard.
The river. You need to get a lot of folds on this overbet to make it work. I think a simple check is better, or maybe going for an good valuebet that actually is a bluff would work a bit better here and save some chips. I won many games where I managed to save 200 chips.
What I like about your play, is that you are consistent with the way you played and I think that is a important aspect. You tried to represent something and you went for it. If you do it, that is the way to do it. Now it is important to find balance (betsizing, type of opponent, your range, his range) on this kind of board where there is an ace and you are in position.
