100NL - Top 2 on Flop against CR on Turn.

[Corpsebean]

I was 20/16/4 approximately and he was 30/8/1 or so.

I'd yet to see him make a single raise postflop eventhough he was on 3 of my tables.

I thought I was in trouble on turn primarily because this guy was pretty happy to c/c with a draw from what I've seen. I Vbet river because of his check and didn't think he was really tricky enough or whatever to not try to bet himself with a strong hand.

Thoughts? Shove turn? Fold to Minbet? I honestly sat there for 6-7 seconds contemplating a check through on river, would that have been better on this board?

I call turn and check/check the river. Even if he was semi bluffing w/ FD, he just got there, or you were also beat by 45, A8, 666, 888, 777. I like the check back on the river.

if you are confident you're ahead on the turn, you should push the turn. that avoids the river decision.

if you are unsure of being ahead on the turn, and you decide to flat call it, you should check behind on the river. the 2c certainly doesn't help you.



incidentally, i would have pushed the turn - villain has just under $70 left in a $57 pot. villain may have A8, 66, or 45, but i think those times will be very rare compared to Ax, 87, 76, and combo club/flush draws.

I shove the turn. And I bet/call the river as played because I can't fold with those odds, or pass up on the value bet.
