30/60 6max on FTP. Villain seems solid, he is multitabling and and winning, his name was 'nipplerocketaxi.' My image is pretty laggy in this session and I have been showing down lightly.

I open-raise in CO with A

Folds to Villain who calls in BB

Flop 9

He leads, I raise, he calls.

Turn: 8

He checks, I check behind

River K

He bets, I call

I would just bet/fold the turn, but I guess you feel he semi-bluffs enough to make this unattractive.... I also think there is merit in just calling down from the flop.

since he said he calls down lightly and is playing against a solid player he wont be semibluffed here too often, especially on a board like this where so many draws are possible and where a made hand wont fold ever.

further, hero could easily have had semibluffed on the flop and now hit a straight with hands like 67 etc.

so river is a fold once I check the turn?

I think it is very close. I would usually try to get a "feel" here, sometimes calling and sometimes folding. He could show up with K

, or be value betting his flopped TP, or have the straight, etc. Basically unless he has a 5 of a missed flush draw that didn't pair the turn or river, he wins here.

call the river probably, but just bet the freakin turn
You should have known he's gonna bet the river 99% of time, and then what do you do?

I was confused by his flop lead here and really didnt have any idea where to put him. Bet/folding the turn feels like the right play the more I think about it. Once I checked I planned to call any river but my image doesnt favor that play since he is valubetting practically every hand that has me beat other than perhaps a weak eight.

Curious - what does villain show down here?
I'd put him on the str8 90% of the time looking for a c/r turn?
Do you fold the turn to a c/r if you bet the turn?

he showed 10 7 offsuit. If I bet the turn and get c-raised I probably fold.
