Villain is 29/21/4 through 140 hands. We haven't really played any pots together so far. I think this is a pretty interesting spots because bet/folding and checking behind are both very reasonable plays. However, knowing how to react to a river bet can be fairly difficult if the turn gets checked through.

i think i like checking the turn with the Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] would be interested to see what others think.

I normally check here with Qc and call reasonable bets on most rivers. Without Qc I B/f.

Checking is far better than betting IMO with the club in your hand. He is giving up many hands to the turn bet that will bet or call a river and you certainly don't want to get check-raised off possibly the best hand. In a lot of ways this is a standard check for me planning to call any reasonable river bet (pot or less).

This may sound kind of weak, but at this point I'm trying to get to showdown as cheaply as possible. It depends on villan what line I prefer. Either check the turn and call a river bet (hopefully it will induce a bluff) or bet turn and check behind on the river.

just a ?, but do y'all really think this guy is b/c'ing a flush draw on the flop ?

i bet for value - outstanding straight draws, TP hands and medium pocket pairs,

also depending on how deep villain is thinking i feel you might get a light call on the turn with like 88 here if he thinks you'll bet the turn with AxX

jk3a I dont think a river bet has to put you in a tough spot if you check the turn. Once you have induced the bluff against an aggressive player you call the river, simple as.

I mostly check here. The Qc is often good and we can't really stand a c/r. I'm calling most river bets or bet/fold if he checks.
Bet/folding turn loses the same amount against hands that have us beat, but folds out some hands that might bluff at the river or call a v-bet.

bet w my image, check with nit image. hard for nit to rep anything making up enough weight in their range that can call a shove, whereas hard to put a lag on anything so obv call with one pair.
