Monster draw that comes up short (Nl1000)
 

2-5 gbp

Villain is 24/18/2.5.We have a bit of history together - i 3bet/4bet him a ton (most of those were really good hands, but he doesn't know that) and he layed down.Once or twice i just called his 3bet in pos with KK or AA and 3bet the flop.

Thoughts about:

A) What to do on the turn?
Check-raise?Check-call?
Bet (call obviously)?
With such a huge draw i call anyway, but if i bet and miss, as it happened, i don't have enough left to bet him off.

B) Do you take a shot on the river hoping he has AJ/higher FD?In case he has an Ace, this could be the old "you know that i know that you are commited and i still shove, so i can't really be bluffing, am i?"

lots of good options on the turn I just mix it up there. On the river I really think you should give up. It is a really drawy board so I think you get called here very often since it is so easy to put you on a missed draw.

Since i almost always should give up on the river if missed - is the better option to check turn in your opinion, cause i have very little river FE?

Re: Monster draw that comes up short (Nl1000)
 

I think a river bluff is still reasonable. $300 is enough for him to consider a fold with a weak ace. On the other hand I don't think he called the turn hoping you will let him check down the river. Considering this I guess I'd give it up.

On the turn I like a check-raise.

When in doubt, err on the side of aggression.

Louis said it first, Check-Raise on the turn and let him sweat it out.

Anyone check-raises the flop?

Re: Monster draw that comes up short (Nl1000)
 

I like check raising the turn a lot.

turn c/r kinda sucks if villain is any good because he shouldn't be b/f AJ or something. I like a lead here.

Re: Monster draw that comes up short (Nl1000)
 

turn c/r wont work too often bc there not gunna be betting very many hands, often theyll check behind for pot control
