gp has been slumming the last couple days. Since I have no table selection skills (or maybe because he does), I have like 700 hands with him, all recent.
He's running at like 24/18 and threebetting and coldcall/floating me enough for me to be pretty sure he likes being in pots with me in position. For the most part, I've leaned toward backing down, although I've gotten in my share of small bluffs. I'm at 21/17/3 or so, but probably playing slightly more passively versus gp than the average opponent.
So far he'd passed up an opportunity or two to 3 barrel me (also given up on a float after I check-called turn). We played a hand a bit before this where I called his raise in position w/ 98hh, flop A82 one heart, he bet I called, turn 4h, he bet I called. River low blank; We had enough history where I was planning on folding because I think he would expect me to have an ace lots after calling barrel 2 and that I wouldn't fold it to barrel 3. He checked and I beat KQ. I think this makes him more likely to bluff me this time, especially b/c this board isn't so good for check-calling down (relative to an ace-high type board).
So the hand: I hate all my options on the turn, but I went with check-call, planning to checkcall more than half of rivers. Then I folded this river. It's $145 to me.
