nl50 how do i extract the most money out this guy?
 

ok, the villain is 39/0/0.83 after 31 hands from a previous session. i've also written in my notes that he "will stay in a pot with A3o, no pair, no draw, until the river."

He certainly won't expect me to be holding a 5 here. I'm hoping he's betting TP, or maybe 99, 77.

so... how would you go about getting the most out this guy? raise him now? raise him on the flop? smooth call?

his bet on the flop seems weak so i might be afraid to raise him then but if he is just going to keep drawing for a pair then it is probably still best.
if you don't raise flop you have to raise on turn, i would think like 19 or so

yup. sumtin that moves ~1/2 ur stack in the middle, and gives him ~3:1 on the river. i dont think there is any river we are folding, so i wouldnt worry about it.

I probably wait until turn to reraise. You might lose him if you reraise on the flop, and with that board you don't really have to worry about the turn being a scare card.

call flop, raise turn, shove river.

im just not sure he'd call a raise, but he may well bet the river, or at least check call
