- Not sure if I'm meant to do anything different. Maybe raise the turn? But if so, what sizing? Click back?

Think youve answered it yourself just fine, raise on turn would be better. As is, river is a slightly reluctant call but still a call.
The modern tendency to open to 2-2.5 BB is just insanity IMO. Solver/twitch stream nonsense. Make that 4x+n at least

Assuming I get the same frequency of folds from 2.5x, isn't better to size down since I'm getting the same fold equity for cheaper price?
Or do you mean I can go linear with my sizing and 4x with value (and assume at these stakes that this won't get exploited?)
First of all, you're not getting the same frequency of folds. It's just common sense. And if you find that 4x doesn't make your fold equity what you want it to be in a.particular spot, bet more.
Second of all, poker for me is about exploiting mistakes - not trying to be unexploitable myself. If they are making a mistake by over calling, then make their mistake bigger by betting more .
Third of all, poker again for me isn't about winning the preflop game. It's about winning the post flop game. Most of the money is made on the river. Sure, DS famously said that poker starts as a battle for the blinds, but he didn't say it ends there.
And yes, assume at these stakes this won't get exploited. In fact, assume at EVERY stakes this won't get exploited.
Most people won't even try. Of those that do, most will do it wrong. They start making new mistakes, which you.must then observe and take advantage of. Your play should flow like water as the table and your opponents change.
Want to not lose? Maybe GTO will help, but then again, maybe it will just make things worse.
Want to win? Throw away GTO and be the exploiter yourself
