Huh? cero, draws aren't ever going to bluff him out - he's going to call the river almost regardless of what comes. I've done this and seen it done with hands as weak as AJ high.

Hey DJ,

This looks fine, though very thin. What you get from it (and I think you know this but others here don't) is that it shuts down draws from bluffing the river, when they would've bluffed you out. The only thing I don't totally agree with from your post is that I would not put another penny into the pot after this, so I would not be calling or raising a river bet from him if I didn't improve.

Yea, basically I figure against an aggressive opponent I can set my price for showdown here. I can either call turn and call river (meh) or raise turn and check behind river.

I don't think he'll 3-bet this turn against me unless I have 0-3 outs, and I can easily fold. I also don't think he'll bet the river without a hand that beats me.

When I suggested that I might raise the river, that would probably mean a bluff-raise because I sensed weakness, but I don't think I'd choose to do that too often here.

this one was perfectly played by you, but it was played perfectly b/c of our specific history. On the hand a few months ago when you stacked me in a 700bb pot, I took this exact flop/turn line, and you said that this flop/turn line was almost always a weak hand. Because you said that, and then took this line in this particular spot, I figured you for an absolute monster (AA, KK, maybe AK) and I thought that you were for sure going to value bet the river, and b/c of that if I hit my flush was absolutely going to get paid off. nh

I'd just call. Others are saying to bet the flop, I'd definitely not do this..

when I say standard, I mean:
This play is fine (a)
The typical play would be to bet the flop (b)
However, if I didnt, and I certainly wouldnt need to, I like hte turn raise better then folding and calling. Id probably make it slightly more, though

If he calls this, and leads the river, you're not calling tho.

I wouldnt mind bluff pushing (if he bets river) on a 3 or 4, but aside from that, call > raise for almost all rivers (if you intend on putting in money)

If it was a pot-control line, you'd call the turn, then call the river. As is, I feel it's a spew line - and you will get re-bluffed here a lot since he knows you don't have a monster (unless you have 34).
