So sorry DB if I sabotaged your question. It seems no one else is giving their opinion. If you want to hear mine, for what it's worth, here it is.
Ok, you gave up your pre flop initiative by checking the flop to on!y 2 callers. Btn, who you say is a competent player, decides to take the lead, after being checked to. I don't know how much experience you exactly have with him. Does competent player mean he'd call a 15 pre flop raise with a sc like 8,7? Or is he a competent player who senses weakness and is taking advantage of position? By checking the flop, we have a hard time putting villain on a range now. His flop bet could be anything.
He's going to continue on the turn after you check again. 40 seems pretty standard. I don't know what I , my self , would have done on the turn , to be honest. But sometimes I'd bet out myself, maybe around 50, only because I intend to call up to that much, if I check and villain bets.
It would give me a better idea of villains feelings about the hand.
If he folds, I'm fine with it. If he calls, I'd probably just x/ f the river.
If he raised my Turn bet, I'd fold and feel good about my play. We were intending to call his Turn bet if we checked anyways?
I'd probably just check /call, check/fold the river.
I'm expecting him to bet big if he bets the river at all.
he could easily have a busted draw but that's the dilemma, I think we can only beat a bluff now.
That's how I see it. I could be totally off.
Ps. If he showed up with a hand like A8, take him off the competent player list!
