you should make checking this flop your standard play. so many more hands put bets in when checked to than facing a bet. honestly, check calling all three streets is better than betting the flop. the river is a fold.

Re: Fishy plays make for baited calls?
 

I assume you c/c all 3 streets w/ your plan?

Re: Fishy plays make for baited calls?
 

no i often c/r the flop or c/c twice and donk the river. even c/c c/r. mainly you just need to give him the chance to bluff the flop.

With your plays, what is your option when he raises the river (granted that he likely wouldn't have the same hand in both situations.)

miles,

you make an interesting point, but i think even the small sample for this read:

means that value betting TP is going to make more money than checking and hoping he does something stupid.


link,

i crying call the river but folding is better.

Re: Fishy plays make for baited calls?
 

I call, sadly, then take notes if he's the kind of player who hangs in there for a lone overcard, or the kind who tries to bluff the occasional river.

Re: Fishy plays make for baited calls?
 

I'd probably fold, but not feel too happy about having to do so...

Re: Fishy plays make for baited calls?
 

I call. I've seen a number of players who call to the river, don't hit anything, but then raise (presumably because they think it's the only way they can win). Without a better read, I think calling is correct.

I fold
