Villain is like a 44/22 donkkkkkkk.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed)

Hero ($757.50)
Button ($526.70)
SB ($396)
BB ($281.90)
UTG ($400)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises to $12, Button calls $12, 2 folds.

Flop: ($30) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $20, Button calls $20.

Turn: ($70) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $54, Button calls $54.

River: ($178) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $144 or checkraises....

Just seems like alot of two pair hands etc. would bet and maybe call a shove. While if I bet strong they will just call. So is a check more ideal in this spot?

Checkraise seems good. He may even bet/call with KQ.

I think you need a good postflop read in order to make this a profitable play, does he call a cr all day with AQ/twopair?

If I'm not sure I'd just lead.

"a lot of 2 pair hands"

QJ and.......?

we're going to need a beter read on his postflop play too

bet

I'd be sick if it was checked down ... throw something out there and let him hang himself.

Like jkkkk said, you need a good postflop read. You need to know his tendency to try and steal a pot away from you.

You don't have enough information to c/r, just bet

depends how aggro he is. alot of donks will check behind once the backdoor flush/str8 possibilities arrive, so i think betting is better here.

Uggg, c/r is bad imo.

Some critical info is missing though, if his WTSD% is like 30%+, then maybe.

I will lead here almost always.
