effective stacks around 200
villain-around 200
hero-had him covered

hero-had been at the table for about an hour. had been playing tag and only showed down one or two hands, no bluffs.

villain-was playing loose preflop but tag postflop. when he did have a hand he usually overbet the pot. I didn't see him show down a bluff. I thought he was playing pretty straightforward poker. I didn't get any information on how he handles aggression, because he was the agressor in the pots I saw him play.

villain is utg and limps, three other limpers to hero in sb who raises to 17(average pre raise was 10-12). villain and one other player calls.

I lead out for 35. villain calls and other player folds.

turn 7 spades

hero- ? (I know the 7 completed a lot of draws, but a check is pretty much giving up the pot. Also, since I raised from the small blind preflop it could look like I'm double barrelling with ak, or aq and get looked up by a jack, especially jq. And since he's not lag postflop he's not likely to turn a made hand into a bluff. But since the board is so scary check folding doesn't seem like a bad option either. What are your thoughts?

Checking isn't necessarily giving up. You could check/evaluate and either call or raise depending on his sizing if he bets at all. Of course checking could let him draw for free if he has a hand like AQ/QJ.

If you bet, you can't make a weak/scared bet of $35-50 that seems to be the kind of bet that this villain type would raise with his bluffs. If we lead, I like leading for $80-90 here. As there's over $120 in the pot already.

I think I check, then if he bets small I shove, if he bets huge (when he has a hand) I could get away from it.

One of my own leaks that I've been working on is not getting married to big pairs when they don't improve and there is reason to believe I've been outdrawn.

If it checks through the turn I am check/calling all rivers.
