Basics: blind battle

The river A will definitely entice more sexies than a river blank. I'm also a firm believer in passing up small +EV situations (if +EV at all) to be able to table chat after the hand about how much I owned the guy. So he checks, I check, he shows trips, I muck my good hand and begin talking about how his mother could use that money (and so on).

B) How has he not permanently lost chat privileges?

As for the hand itself, after villains strange line, I like to say I check the river, because if I get called, I'm either chopping with Ax or, if I'm lucky he had KK/KJ/JT - the rest of the the time he folds his xx, or his Qx/KT C/rs me and I call like a donkey.

That said, I lean towards raising the turn as well.

I have no idea how I haven't lost chat.

Flop. against a total unknown, i go into call down mode.
Turn. see flop. I call down.
River. well, this is a spot I sexy sometimes if I was villain. I think I just bet/call. I would bet/fold with a read. I kind of like to know if a villain is going to be sexy in the future and how they will play HU in blind situations. So I bet for value, and shrug and call if raised.

I literally just opened an empty table and the chat window is full of leftover miles berating.

If your invective is inventive then perhaps people are more entertained than offended, so nobody has felt upset enough to report you.

Basically, if you were ahead on the flop, you're ahead on the turn, and if you were behind on the flop, you are still behind on the turn. It's almost exactly the same on the river, with KT being the only exception (unless a backdoor flush draw got there, and you would have noted if a possible flush draw was out there on the flop).

Since it is specified that the we don't know much about this player, my default is to call down. I want to see what sort of hands my opponent will raise from the SB with and check-raise that flop with.

That being said, I still bet the river. He's going to call me with any jack, any ace (although he probably would have bet the river with that), and maybe any five or pocket pair.
