This is all true, but it should also tell you something about your turn bet, as this really isn't any different from a turn check/raise.

I'm not sure I follow? Are you suggesting I should have checked through for pot-control? I guess I can see that point but after he checked to me I did put him squarely on 1010 or JJ and felt by betting the turn I could work him in.

Conversely, if I'd played to get stacks in on the flop I think he'd have folded 1010 and possibly JJ (less sure about 2nd one). It's possibly a bit of a failing in my game that he'd know I'd not get stacks in on this flop without at least JJ+

After I get raised on the flop I'm just going to check the turn through when a brick hits. Then you can call a reasonable river bet after another brick hits, or bet/fold the river.

His whole line seems strange to me. A proper reraise could have put some real pressure on you given its hard to give trips any real credit.

As played it does look like pot control from 1010 JJ or so. I like trying to get smallish turn and river bets in, and a fold to a raise from him. He is straightforward enough that if you are reraised you can fold safely.

I think I do fold this river push. This may be a leak though - I am starting to doubt myself with almost any overpair at the moment...
