Would you slow down? KJs

Villain is 70/10/1.8 and always bet out like this no matter what flops.

Ok, so after the turn I realize he has a 7, but 7T? no way. I'm still good. I was tempted to raise the river too but chickened out.

That wouldn't be very bright. I don't even cap the turn against non-maniacs, especially with the CO calling in between. The villain is playing 70% of his hands. 44, 77, 74s and 7T are all possible.

Capping the flop is no good here.

you said villain likes to donk lots of flops, which implies that he does this a lot with air. In this hand he check/threballed the flop, which implies a big made hand. you've got zero chance of winning the pot right out, and a very slim shot at getting a free card on the turn. Therefore you have no incentive to put any more bets in until you make your hand.

turn is fine.

with an appropriate read I'd raise/call the river. this may be one of those spots.

I'm not raising the river after the way the flop and turn came down.

[Guruman]

you don't think villain pays off 7x?

do you think he check/calls 7x?

I think he'll bet/raise it quite a lot, as that tends to be the mentality of scattershooters: play a lot of hands, and then pedal to the metal when we connect more than just a little.

I don't have the read though, so I could be wrong.

Villain didn’t bet out on flop, he check-3bet. He’s hit a set or maybe even a FH on the flop. I’ve lost a lot to maniacs who play things like 74 suited. You can’t fold, but after the flop bet you shouldn’t be raising.
