Interesting hand against my new arch nemesis

[TheWorstPlayer]

Main villain is dariominieri or whatever. I'm sure he's a lot of people's arch nemesis bec he plays like 35/30 or something preflop which gets him into tangles with everybody.

But we've been going at it pretty hard today for like an hour or two and have played several big pots. I stacked him when I reraised KQ and called his push on a river K to beat his flopped mid pair. Then he stacked me when he flopped trips after calling a reraise with 67s against my overpair. Then I stacked him when I flopped a straight against his set. So now we're onto this hand.

I was definitely going to push a blank river. I don't know what I would have done if he had pushed a blank river. I was probably folding if he pushed a scary river. What do I do on THIS river? I don't want to value stack myself, but I also don't want to leave a lot of value on the table. So do I bet or not?

(P.S. I know everyone bets the flop every time. I don't. Get over it.)

OK, I'm over not betting flop. I just can't see betting the river against a tricky opponent as being profitable. I check behind.

[True]

not betting the flop is really really bad.

seems like a check, betting can either be marginal or very bad. Checking can either be marginal or very good....

Why no flop bet?
I shove the river.

check because a 9 is oesd and he could be thinking you are bluffing and c/c with the str8.

Because I wanted to get into the precise situation I got into where he would never put me on a set so I could bust up a small flush if I boated up or two pair if I didn't.

And why do you shove? Aren't you afraid that he's going to c/c a better but non-nut hand like a straight or a small flush? If he felt he were good on the turn, wouldn't he have pushed there?

any reasonable bet ur making committs u to calling a CR shove if hes as tricky as is being said then just check behind if u think hes just looking to make a hero call either value bet ~450 or just value shove and sigh if he has a nine

just putting someone on flopping a flush just because it is a hand that beats yours seems kind of silly to me.

so you are value checking this flop?

your hand looks like K-xc, JJ or KQ no clubs maybe even as bad as AJ no clubs....

I don't really see what those betting the river expect vill to payoff with. He may be laggy but he is probably good.

I think your line is extremely strong as you are unafraid of giving a free card on the flop and if you say "don't you ever bluff?" then you must realise that he can just bet/call a flush on the turn if that is the case.
