Default Re: 5/10 NL live double checkraise and possible sick river call

The point is, by playing the hand the way you did, you put yourself in a very tough situation where you might have to call on the river with one pair for a 900bb pot. Whether you should call or not, and whether you took the best line in this hand, depends on how often the villain will make huge insane multi-street bluffs like this. And since you probably don't know the exact frequency with which he will do that, and since it is probably less frequent than you might think during the heat of the moment, I think it's probably more +EV to take the safer line.

Now, if you are really certain that you have the best hand on the turn after he check-raises you, you might as well 3-bet him, for a couple of reasons: 1. He probably still has plenty of outs to the best hand on the river. There are lots of scare cards that could come out. 3-betting protects your hand. 2. You can't assume that he will bluff the river if he misses. And he certainly won't call a value-bet if he misses and checks.
