Villain is 20/8/2 fading in between nit and TAG. He knows how to play postflop well enough, and I was 99% sure he was floating me here. I got a way too excited on the turn; should I be c/c the turn and c/r the river, or c/r betting the pot?

He is not calling your (almost) shove with a worse hand on the turn.

I'm calling the turn bet to keep villian in.

There`s absolutely no reason in raising the turn. He will only call you with better hands and your kicker is not very good. If he checks on the river, value bet an amount you think he will call.

he can only check when you check first (so you cant bet after he checks [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] ).

im sorry, i cant contribute to this hand but i would probably bet/fold the turn (around 10$)and c/c the river (up to a 2/3 pot). or c/c the turn and block the river (half pot). but im a noob.

(1) You raise preflop is very weak.
(2) Flop may be ok, but I bet a little more here.
(3) With your turn play, you are announcing that you catched the 5.

preflop is fine.

I tent to lead flop, turn and river, villan likely has a PP type of hand, though if he calls turn I may c/call river given SCs in his range likely have higher kicker. A5x will likely call the turn AI/raise you.

If u think he's floating, c/call turn lead river or c/call if you think he'll bluff again.
