What's up with the turn, and isn't the sizing of your river bet just you begging to be raised off the pot?

turn bet is because villain will peel cbets very light, but that doesn't really mean that he's in autoshowdown mode, or even that he doesn't have air in his range. If I fire the first barrel vs this type of player, I'm very likely to follow through for a second if they check again.

also, I don't expect a 54/16 to be checkraise bluffing some kind of 35 hand or whatever there. If he does then more power to him, but I'm not really building my game around that idea.

you are betting river cuz he calls a lot and theres value cuz he calls with worse hands. The turn card sucks to bet because he calls a lot, and that card isnt going to make him fold anything, and is also going to give him reason to call with lots of newfound draws, cuz he calls a lot
