I dont know. I wouldnt expect him to check it through but betting pot seems bad to me. I guess he figured pocket pairs would just jam. If im villain there im just gonna go 50-80 w top set and milk the fish to call w overcards. Other than me theres no money behind and when i call UTG +1 I shouldnt have any 4s in my hand for the open ender and theres no flush draw.
Villain did beat me in a hand a little later, its possible he bluffed but i dont think so. But its true that the previous hand i wrote up influenced my decision.
It was a non straddled hand.
He opened utg +1 to 10 and i 3bet to 35 w JJ sitting next to him.
Flop K 3 K w 2 diamonds and I dont have a diamond. He checks, I bet 30, he calls.
Turn brought in 8d completing flush. Check, check.
River 10. He bets 100, basically pot on river. Im losing to a K, 88, TT, and flushes. And he has all the flushes because i have good reason to believe his range is any suited connector even stuff like 74, 85, and 96. I dont know what bluffs he has unless he is just floating super wide on the flop with overcards or turning some pocket pair into a bluff which seems unlikely because I saw him check down showdown value and lose in other hands rather than bluff. So i folded and asked him what he had later and he told me he had a baby flush. Seems reasonable.
