Value bet the river. Vomit with rage when he check/raises you, sure, but more often than that happens he calls with 22 or A6 or whatever he's peeled this far with.

I'm torn on the flop slowplay--it worked out this time, but based on MP3's turn fold I think you got lucky that he decided to fire again with nothing. So a decent percentage of the time your FPS just nets you a checked thru turn and an ugly as sin river; I'd just go ahead and pop the flop, hoping that MP3 has enough of a hand to play back at you some more.

either donk the flop, or c/r the flop IMO. i usually b/3b it, personally.

based on his not having a clue, villain could have alot of worse hands to call you with so bet. against a reasonable player checking is more of an option given he played it like a lower/mid pp. villains that have no clue play alot more hands than just pps this way.

bet the river given your line

I'd B3B the flop too, it's like completely perfct.

Easy river bet.

not betting the river here is like a crime against humanity

I don't like to see 4 card straights on the board either but it is hard to put him on a hand with a 3 or an 8 in it unless it is pocket pairs. I think that there is a good possibility that the 6 gave him a pair. Also, a good percentage of players would not risk letting this river check through if they did make the straight. There is value in a bet.

it's hard to put him on a 3 or an 8, but there is a "good possibility" that he has a 6?

Tyler,

Did you mean this as a question to me?
