Call flop, check turn.

Doesn't checking behind miss out a ton of value we obtain from villain's overpairs, I don't think he is bluffing river that often assuming a narrow 3 bet range pre so checking behind turn wouldn't extract value from keeping villain's bluffs in?

Haha Spladle returns...whats your thought process for this?

It's hard to have an overpair. I'd expect overpairs to comprise a minority of villain's range after checking the turn here. Checking behind may miss a bet against overpairs if villain chooses to check/call the river instead of bet/calling with them. If you know that villain has an overpair and will check-call two streets with it if you bet twice but only check-call the river if you check behind, then obviously you should bet the turn.

If villain bluffs the river with any frequency >0, checking the turn makes more money against these hands than betting would (unless he would check/call or check/raise the turn with hands that'd need to bluff the river to win if we checked behind on the turn).

I think checking the turn is better because I expect it to make more money against villain's range than betting would. Surely you're familiar with the concept of checking in a spot where betting for value (or as a bluff) would be profitable?

What do you expect villain's range for 3-betting pre, betting the flop, and checking the turn to look like? How do you expect villain to play this range in response to a bet? In response to a check?

I think its hard to find a villain that bluffs river=0 frequency, so im guessing you're saying you always check behind this turn? I completely agree that vs villain's range comprising of air checking is obviously more +EV

No, I wouldn't always be checking behind on this turn, I'd simply bet a more polarized range that does not include 65.
