I feel we are wasting value when we check the flop, or the turn.

Against other people I would usually check the turn (and never check the flop, because then I have no idea where I am at when he reraises turn). But come on, this guy is like a total donk. We could extract 3 streets of value. Only problem is that the river card is way too scary.

Then again, don't you guys think there is a lot of single-tabling donks with 40+ vpip who very, very frequently make huge river bets with complete garbage?

Please think that carefully. Don't you remember that guy who frequently c/c, c/c, bet all in, he builds a stack, somebody calls him once and he has 27o, then in the next 4 orbits he goes broke... come on, have you never seen this guy?

Anyway, when I check the river I show weakness, and I believe someone would make a half-pot bet in this situation. Most of the time all I have is AQ/AJ. When you look at the villain's stats, at his bet, don't you see something is wrong here?
