(3900) JsJdTs
I continue for 1300. Villain calls.
(6600) 8d.
I check. Villain bets 3100. I check-raise to 9400. Villain calls.
(25400) 2h
I check. Villain jams. I’ve got between 17 and 18k left. Call is very likely bad, esp because I have the As. Turn c/r is exploitive on my part given history with villain.
In any event, I called and he showed JTo.
In this case, you had a plan, and I get why you check-raised the turn, in order to try to both exploit and slow down the villain's light turn bets/bluffs.
And lots of the time you'll take it down. But what was your plan if villain calls?
Betting/shoving river? I'm assuming not, since you didn't, and that would be bad after the villain's turn call.
Check-folding? I'm assuming not, since you didn't, and that would be bad, since he shoves any missed draw.
Check-calling and hoping he's bluffing, but risking this end result?
What I'm saying is that the turn c/r was bad, even if it exploits previous tendencies.
