What do you think about river call?
He checkraises me on flop, he could do ir with strong hands and FD cos I was cbeting/beting IP a lot. I have grate odds and call. And on turn he checks and on river fires pot size bet. I think all his strong hands would bet on turn cos there are 3 spades so most likely he made check raise with fd and now missed and makes bluff + I have caught him bluffing but maby because of this he pointedly makes his hand look like bluff?

I like your reasoning in this hand, and given history a call on the river isn't the worse thing in the world.

That being said i'd still fold here. We beat only a stone cold bluff here, like, we might even lose to hands he THINKS he's bluffing with like a pair of 9s. He may also play a flush draw this way, hoping he can check/raise the turn, same for Ax type hands... he should absolutely bet those hands but it's possible he checked going for a check/raise.

I think at the river its just a bit too marginal, we need to be right here 25% of the time and i'm not sure that we win it this often. I'd rather fold here and wait for him to do this again when we have a stronger hand to call down with.

Any other spots in which villain bet the river full pot? I doubt that you will see any villain check-raising the nuts twice. Still I don´t think calling is right, bc he could play J,9 with a spade like this, prob even AX with spade. And if he´s the player to play like this I certainly would like to save my chips for a better spot

If there wouldnt be this hand couple hands ago I think I would folded. Kinda I am revealing results but river bet was bluff with AK.
Hand

why would you bet the flop?

He was folding to bets a lot, so it was kinda semibluff
Should I check this flop?

meh, if he's folding to flop cont-bets a lot then his check-raise is usually going to be pretty strong.

Think I bet/fold the turn too much here. Makes life easier but obv you don't get to see a free river card -- but in my experience I'm flat calling pretty much every river card -- so by betting the turn yourself you lose a 1/2 potsized bet instead of >1/2 pot. (The counter-argument here is villain won't always bet the river himself -- or might underbet it -- meaning you'll lose less than when you bet 1/2 yourself, but by check-raising the flop it's apparent he'll need to either bluff or value bet the river nearly always anyway).

Betting the turn yourself is a means of pot-control IMO.

As played I fold the river. The only hand I think you're beating is KT with a spade, and after checking the turn you kind of tell him that you have some sort of equity -- making value bets easier and bluffs less likely.

ok, ty for replies. He had K5
