So you just call flop, check behind on turn and check behind on river?

There was a bunch of min raising at this table and he didn't have a chance to open-raise much.

I semi-bluff all the time - not super horrible.

Unless I bluff, he's never getting my stack. I get his when he can't fold TP or worse.

i dont like ur line very much.u raised on the flop with the intention of checking behind on the turn when a blank hits.i totally dont understand why you make a 1/2 potsize bet on the turn when you know that villaien is a calling station!?i mean,what the heck do you achieve by that? do you really think that villain(caling station) now folds on the river when you jam again at the pot?the way you presented the hand i think you are proud about a fold of villain on the river,but nevertheless i still think that you shuold have checked the turn and shut down on the river.raise on the flop is fine to get a freecard.use it!

ICMoney,

I see what you're trying to do here, and this line works against some villains, but against a guy you call a fish, this is FPS at its best. Villain is the type to take TPGK too far, and he's the type of player we value bet when we have a good hand.

I'm guessing you posted this hand in this format because you wound up winning (with or without showdown), but regardless of the results, this is not how you get the most value out of a player like this.

You might have 89 of hearts and he called you down with KQ.

Thats a quote by me. I feel 89hearts is close enough to the 810hearts and now I need to know if he had KQ.

[checktheriver]

The real problem here is the bet sizing imo. When I first read the hand, I thought you had a hand like KhJh and you tried to get Villain to commit with his one pair hand. I know stack sizes are a little awkward, but if you think he can fold the turn put in a decent sized bet, here you're giving him too good odds and he'll call both streets a lot.
