BTN is exploitable grinder: bets and calls with a very wide range preflop, then plays fit or fold postflop. I frequently call him light pre, then on the flop bet into him or bet when he checks and he folds.

Middle player is ultra-fish calling station.

Hero is BB with 3456

I pot the river because fish frequently calls here and BTN will only call with a made hand otherwise he folds.

How do you play this to extract more value?

Raise turn, obviously. It doesn't have to be pot.

I'd definitely fold pre, but I think peeling flop is good to that sizing.

On the turn leading small or check-raising small make sense. Calling turn and potting river seems just silly to me. I'd rather check river as played.

Thanks for the replies. I like the small raise (maybe to 9BB) on turn, then around 1/3 pot river line.

Believe you me, 3456 is hardly ever in my preflop calling range. I had 3 reasons for calling:

1. I was on an extreme heater winning 2/3 fliers. While I don't usually base my play heaters, in this case I was up 300BB and decided to play the rush.

2. Usually when that particular player on the BTN raises everyone folds. As stated, he is super easy to outplay postflop esp heads up.

3. The other players in the hand where all fish. If 2+ of them call, there was a good chance the pot could swell to 200BB+ by the river.

I this thinking reasonable?
