River spot, no good options 1-2 bellagio?

[hoppscot22]

I'm getting destroyed in the game, running really badly etc.

Kid from Seattle, Travis i think is his name (Buckeye on wpex, back in the day), plays pretty well it seems like.

Raises in the hijack.
Folded to me in the SB and i three bet AQo.
BB folds, he calls.

Flop A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I bet, he raises, I call.

Turn 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I checkraise, he calls.

River 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

These spots often come up.

What should we go with?

B/F, C/C, C/F,?

All options seem so bad.

I usually just say [censored] it and bet/fold.

i really don't like bet/fold here for some reason. wouldn't he check behind a spade on the turn? seems like maybe he has an ace with no spade or something. i'd hate to bet the river and have him successfully bluff us out of this pot. basically i'm not folding so the options are either check/call or bet/call. i'd probably check call but obv it depends on how often you think he'll bluff the river.

keep going on the flop.

Travis is a pretty tough LAG, TravEasy from party. Bet/call or check/call are the only options as it seems less likely than normal for him to have a spade (given turn play). I'd probably bet like I hate it and then call fast.

[johnsy]

i love ur line against travis...check call river

[cgrohman]

How about a check/raise? It gets in the same number of bets as bet/call and it might just get him to fold a weak spade?

I dont like it, bc of the free card danger. He might have an Ace big spade combo that he would continue betting but he might take the freebie fearing set or 2 pair. It seems like too much guess work so against a tough player I would just play straightforward. I also would just c/c river. Seems like the tradeoff just isnt worth it as far as inducing a bluff raise vs. the times he actually has a spade.

Should I be offended that Chris says I'm a LAG or should I be happy?

Anyhow a bit more information on the hand. i'm also running good at this point in the game up a ton and playing slightly more wreckless than normal. I think Hoppscot knows this.
