Default NL$400, overpair against balugawhale

He is tight and very aggressive. Runs 19/16/3 or something. This is the first time I reraise him (or notice that he is at my table). Note that we are 200bb deep.

IMO his checkbehind on the flop makes it improbable he has a mid pocket pair thru JJ that is not a set.

I think its a spot where he would have outs if you are ahead (maybe FD or whatever) and would have AA/KK/set when you are behind.

curious as to why we check the flop and make smallish river bet here. imo, it complicates decision making process, since now we look sort of weak, so this opponent--a thinking, aggro one in my limited exp. with him--may be trying to push us off what he suspects as AK/AQ sort of hand (esp. now that board has paired). I bet out flop to find out where I'm at. as played, 200BB deep, i fold.

I'd bet the flop.
As played, this is an obvious push; I don't see how you can fold here.

Don't understand why you didn't bet flop. This is one that missed him most of the time.

As played, I'm folding the turn now. I think c/c turn might be better than betting since you gave up the flop, re-eval river but probably c/c there too since you made yourself look so weak.

Also this deep I like a bigger 3bet preflop being oop.

btw

3betting pf and then checking this flop gives away your hand pretty much entirely.
