Re: 1/2 river spot
[ QUOTE ]
I would probably bet/fold river for ~1/2 pot but like the way you played the hand.

This is a very standard play for many of us, myself included, and I am trying to question its perhaps overusage here. It is obvious that he rarely raises a worse hand in the river, so it is a safe fold when he does, but for the same price we get him to put money in with hands that instafold to a bet. As Iggy was saying, its hard for him to have a hand that beats us here and can call, but easy for him to show up with a panoply of missed of draws, so letting him bet that latter group of hands is key. It is spots that have this character that are the perfect places to induce a bluff. It simply takes more discipline than many of our opponents have to just check it down with a missed draw if they still have an avenue to win the hand.
