I wanted to ask for your guys' input on this hand.
Villain is 18/16/3 over 140 hands. He seems like a 2p2, at least not a fish.

Now what would you do in my spot holding the 4's?
Would you have checked the turn as well and maybe have the hand get to showdown as it may be good there?

I'm not betting the turn, nor am I calling his raise. Once he calls your flop bet, I'm about done with the hand. There are better spots to make money than this.

I called his bet... he was the original bettor and he had a high CB%. I was actually planning on floating on this hand, and it worked until he came back over the top of me. But honestly, his line made no sense. Is this strength? or a bluff?

check behind on turn (pot control) you have a weak hand that could be best at showdown why bloat the pot on turn? You then could have called a bet/bluff on river to get to showdown.
As played fold.

Doesn't anyone else think this might be a bluff? Especially since he checked the turn after he bet the flop...

Sorry, I misread the action. Still, I'm probably folding to the c-bet. I still believe there are better spots to make money than a villain who is 18/16/3 over that large a size. If he has a c-bet % and you think he has air, I would raise his c-bet here, not flat call.
