5/10 short - Following through with a plan on a weird river.
 

Villain (who shall remain anonymous) is a mediocre reg at 2/4 - 3/6 - he's overaggro pre-flop and not too great post where he doesn't bluff enough in spots he should and makes bad "heroic" call in spots he shouldn't. This is just my 30th hand at the table, we've been playing 4-h but just started playing 3handed, I'm running at 24/21... not that much history.

Turn: ($546) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

River: ($546) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">BTN bets $333</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1,272.50 and is All-In</font>...

... is this totally standard and boring? Arguments for just calling the river now?

Against this guy I just bet bet bet, and given the turn check I think river bet is better, CR &gt; c/c though.

Betting the turn seems best if only to increase your perceived double barrel frequency against this guy. Because he will see too many flops, if you get him to believe he is being run over post flop, he may start to look you up very light with these mediocre holdings. Now you own his soul...

Yeah, I like a turn bet for sure.
