Default What\'s my play?

I'm playing 32/25/5 over 50 or so hands at this table.

Villian was 35/7/1.6 over 50 or so hands at that point. Seemed a little weak tight after the flop in general.

In retrospect, I think I really should have folded the flop, however I thought there was a good chance I could take the pot away if he checked the turn or stack him if I hit. I also thought he would likely check the turn. Thoughts?

On the turn, I again, figured I'd stack if I hit the river.

So what do we think the chances of him double barreling me here? What do we think we can push him off of? Do we beat any part of his range?

What's our action?

I check behind and wave the white flag. Your opponent is not folding out any reasonabloe hand in this spot for less than $100, and even then, he likely looks you up with a wide range.

You can fold the flop next time, but, I don't fault callign here with the backdoor draws.

Looks like he doesn't want to bet and make a decision to your all in, so he's gonna check and hope you check it back. But that doesn't mean he'll fold.

Pretty easy check behind. Flop is standard.

you are not getting him to lay down any hand that caught a piece

Standard check behind. You can't rep anything that will make him fold his hand. Everything else is standard. Just give up.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond. In retrospect, I tend to agree with what was said above.

That said, I chose the path not taken and fired $135. The check, combined with the fact that I'd been so active at the table, and my line, which to ME looked like I was playing a monster against a transparent 1 pair type hand (unless it was a set of Qs) made me believe he had AQ/JJ/TT/AK and could lay them down enough of the time to allow me to take the pot.

It didn't.

What it DID do was get him to CRAI on the river. WTF? What could he possibly be CRAI on the river that he wouldn't VB3B?

Maybe he indeed flopped QQQ and was afraid of you folding when he bets to strong (maybe AQ if he thought he can define your hand really well)? Or he picked up a set on turn or river? No other hands make real sense.
