Interesting hand vs. Durrrrrrr
 

This hand came at the end of a 2-hour 15K downswing a while back. Relevant background is durr is pretty crazy and I probably haven't been adjusting to his play well. Earlier this week he bluffed me out of a pot with 45s after 3-betting my UTG raise. At a different table, I decided to adapt by floating his 4-bet preflop with a PSB left in my stack and showed him QT when he check/folded a KJx flop. Since then, he has made a few pointed references about me sucking (particularly in that hand, but in a couple threads on 2p2). Anyway, the next time I deal with durrrrrr we don't run into each other too much despite his position on me. Then this hand comes up.

tl;dr: Durrr thinks I suck and I have been struggling to adjust to his preflop pressure.

Diablo,

When running bad I often check behind on the turn here in order to both practice pot control and make my hand more transparent.

So why raise the river if your doing it for pot control....?

He's less likely to make a move on the river than the turn was the thinking, so I can make a value bet in on the river whereas on the turn I'd have a tough decision to make if he c/rs was the thinking. Needless to say I'm not happy with how I played this hand in general. Now on to the river action

Re: Interesting hand vs. Durrrrrrr
 

Durrrr peals so much on the flop not firing again is criminal.

Re: Interesting hand vs. Durrrrrrr
 

I fold, its fishy.Just dont feel right.

Re: Interesting hand vs. Durrrrrrr
 

Call river...

But since you didn't, I see a call here. He senses weakness and given you guys' history I think pushing is warranted.

Re: Interesting hand vs. Durrrrrrr
 

I don't think the river is a call. QJ TT are possible in FF's range, so it would be strange for durrr to risk 2000 for 1000.

Also, durr river bet is prob a pair, if he thought FF was making a move then calling makes since since the hands to be making a move are AQ AJ etc.

Turn check sucks as said above.
