I'd bet the turn and raise the river. You can fold to a threebet, but I am not good enough to do that. Take people to valuetown

Re: River play
 

Why do you bet the flop with nothing and check the turn when you make a hand?

Bet the turn and and river and call down if raised.

Re: River play
 

To a maniac, I am betting the turn, raising the river and calling a 3-bet. But this play doesn't look like a maniac as there was no cap on flop and no raise on the flop.

What does "maniac" mean here?

bet the turn and raise the river.

Jane, this has to be one of the easiest river raises in the world.

404 - Maniac not found (perhaps just a lag preflop?)

Valuetown is a place that needs to be visited here.

Re: River play
 

way too passive, bet turn, raise river!!

Re: River play
 

If you are going to bet the flop you should probably bet the turn as well. I would raise the river and call a 3 bet.

He might have a K, but he didn't cap preflop so it might be KQs or KJs (they might not even be suited). If he is a maniac, I would think he would cap these hands as well. He might be as weak as KT, K9 to 3 bet preflop. I can only really speak from live experience so keep that in mind. I wouldn't put him on AK.

No you can't. Check OP's read.
