Hi, same villain from http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/58...29/?highlight=, cliffs he is opening aggressively from the button and a taggy, winning player at this stake. He did c/r call 20 deep with 34o (lolwat?) on a 237ss board a bit earlier in the match in a minraised pot. He checked down Q8 IP on 2233J board, 40bb deep. He checked flop, bet turn, b/f river OOP on 67c5Kc2 board 30 bb deep.

My image is pretty aggressive, floaty and stationy. I am not too sure if villain thinks I can vb that thin, as he hasn't been calling many of my river bets when I barrel (not sure if that is relevant or not since this river is very blankish and I was not aggressive earlier in the hand).

Flop, I think the concensus is that I should have definitely CR the flop.

I think if I bet the turn, it would have been and odd (and strong looking given game flop) line for me so I am not sure if I should be betting there or checking.

Now that we are here, should be check or bet? I think that he will definitely bet a J on the river, maybe bet 8x/6x, probably check back Ax, but probably not call Ax on the river given history.


Cliffs: I'm fish that has found forums, I should have c/r flop, now should I check or bet river? Thanks in advance.

As you have seen him calling check/raises wide and also betting on later streets when checking some earlier street, i think going for a check-raise is a bit better option to extract money in this hand, esp. given your reads that he will bet Jx , and maybe 8x,6x ( though we lose some value sometimes when we checks back 8x/6x, but IF he calls your c/r w Jx it compensates the lost value maybe )

as played im leading that river near potsize
river c/r is probly good too, kinda close
