Default Re: Check behind with outs?

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't noticed anything special about this guy, but he seems loose. I saw him iso-raise someone with KTo once and then call down to the river with overcards (spiking a K on the river) after getting check-raised on the flop. He's probably a little loose and likes to see the river.

Should I check the turn? How about the river bet?

Try to put your opponent on a hand here. He called the flop with something. He probably does not have two overcards since he probably would have re-raised preflop with AK or AQ. If he had a flush draw, it got there. If he had a straight draw, like 98 (the only straight draw I see), it got there. He would have had a draw with T9 also, but that makes a pair on the turn. So he probably has a pair. If he called the flop and turn with his pair, there is no reason he is going to fold when this 6 hits on the river.

Only thing I see him staying with is maybe the Ace of diamonds with an unpaired rag. He perhaps stays to see the river when he picks up the flush draw on the turn. But there aren't many other hands that would have called the flop and turn and that will now fold.

In short, I see no value to the river bet. There is not a worse hand that calls and few (if any) better hands that fold.
