I personally hate these situations, especially when it is the cutoff that calls and leaves you OOP.

My "standard" line here would be bet flop (probably a litte less, around $0.60), C/C reasonable turn bet, and C/F this river. I'm interested as to what others have to say here.

bet more on the turn

I would lead on flop, turn and weak lead(blocker bet/fold) river if I feel he wasn't chasing.

I would bet $1.30 on the river and if he raised then I would fold. It is a tough situation though because 67 and a flush draw got there. Id look for some timing tells as well, if he called quickly on 2 streets of betting I might put him on a flush draw.

Are you calling a weaker river bet? Maybe call a 2/3 or less pot sized bet?

My thinking on the turn was to charge flush draws but put in as little as possible beyond that. Villain is getting 3:1 on the FD and not good implied odds since I am check/folding most heart rivers. I am value betting any non-heart river.

villain isn't betting the river with anything you beat so just fold. a turn check probably isn't too bad either given villains limping range and the fact that he called the flop bet.

I think villain is drawing on the turn. I think we need to charge the draws. Checking the turn comes down to whether or not we think we are likely to be ahead. At the time I thought I was.

I agree about the river though.
