Villian is french and is defending his big blind every time.

The flop check is for balance/trap as ive cbet the last 5 times i opened

I dont think it looks like i can have much on river so im expecting some light calls, although that may be optomistic.

But then you check this hand? Isn't that kinda antibalance

I would probably just bet bet bet

if i bet flop im not folding to a raise(given all my previous c bets), and im not sure how often im good vs a random

flop check is fine, turn call is fine, just call the river now tho

i play at as you up to the river where i just call

i think the hands that you get value from betting the flop are the same Qx hands you get value on the river depending on how bad the villain is

Have been against posting on this forum for the past couple months but since it's you.. I love the way you played this hand, I think against a huge fish it is perfect, and based on bet sizing and the line you took, expect that you will get called by worse 100% of the time.. prob fold if he 3 bets river though..

I like the line but I'd raise the river bigger, to 17kish. Looks bluffier me thinks.
