Check to see what he played this way. After he crs the turn he will never pay off river w/ a worse hand if you have the cojones to vb. He is probably going for el doble cheque y gasolina.

Yeah whenever I take Vehn's line I'm either giving up on some bluff and folding, or I'm check/raising again with a better hand. So I like a check for PokerBob also.

Ive seen this line being taken on boards with weak made hands to fold out better weak made hands, then induce bluffs on the river from draws still left in your range and get WTF checks from good hands. Its not an awful strategy. If my opponent can do this move profitably because of the nature of the board and the action up to this point, I would value bet a good pair to leave myself unexploitable.

Unfortunatly, in this situation , because of the high/connected nature of the board and your pf3bet, once you bet the turn, your range is pretty strong and if you are weak enough to want to fold to a line this strong, you likely would want to do it on the river.. You'll almost always be calling the turn since most hands have gutshots And/or heart draw. Therefore the c/r, check line serves no purpose as a bluff or a bluff catcher.

He should know this, so I think its pretty unlikely he has a worse made hand and is checking to induce a bluff.

Thus I check it... If you want to bet, you have plenty of better hands to bet in this spot.. bet 2pair or the very worst hands in your range.

This is the perfect hand in your range to check.

Well whenever I take Vehn's line here I am planning to c/f so I doubt a bet has much value.

The ol' double c/r the big bet streets after just calling the flop is a pretty friggin rare line. Pbob, I'd put your bet at about +.01 bb ev.

If we 3bet and Vehn 4bet the turn I would think this is a pretty trivial fold.
