How do you guys play this? My line look half-decent?

You had 60bbs and checked that turn with aces. Just keep barreling. The nut overpair with 60bbs means you need to get all your money in the pot.

I have a lot to say about this hand.1. Please keep your stack at 100bb ($25 at this level) so you can get max value out of your hands. You can only win 15 instead of 25 if you double up.2. Bet more on that flop, roughly 2/3rd pot. 3. Why check/call the turn? Are you scared he hit a straight with 64/69? Or has two pair like 78? That's a very small and unlikely part of his range. If you check the turn you should definitely check/raise for value. You have the best hand here most of the time and need to bet for value. If you just bet the turn the hand plays a lot different and easier imo.4. He should almost never be betting this river. He is either value towning you with AT WORST a set but most likely a straight. He either has nearly the nuts or a complete bluff. He's not going to be betting this river very thin. I would think about folding unless you've seen him get out of line before.5. Can you explain your thought process on this hand? Why your making those plays is more important than what plays your making. Does that make sense?

I'm guessing you let a hand like 46, 56, 76 etc get there on the river. Even at the micro stakes people don't usually bluff so strong into that sort of river card. You need to bet the turn strong, or check raise him stronger, but check-calling him down is really the worst option to go with here. Basically, everything Whatgreatis said.

raise more on the flop.

raise more on the PREflop.

FYP. This is the beginning of all of the problems in this hand.Make is $1 pf. Bet 1.85 on the flop. If he calls the flop there is 6.05 in the pot (including the rake) (eff. stacks 13.60) and then you bet 4-4.50 on the turn. Then you can either shove the river for value ~9 into 14 or you can check call because he will bluff at it with far less. Someone can probably put this into better words, but the general thought process is there. For you to run with?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses :)My thought process was mainly around controlling the pot size, but reading your responses, this is apparently the last thing I shouldve been thinking about

When you start a hand with 60 bbs, the only pot control you should do is deciding whether to go broke with the hand, or fold preflop.

I don't see the strategy advice. All I see is the avatar.
