Here it gets interesting.

1) Do you bet this river?
2) If yes, how much?
3) Do you call a check-raise?

BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $23</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $67.5</font>, Hero calls $44.50.

Final Pot: $180.50

I think you played it OK. A bit bigger bet on the turn would have been good, but he probably would have called. I want to say check the river, but how can you? I'm a tight nit, so I might have, but it's probably the wrong play. What could he have here? Did he call in the bb with 33 or 67? I hope he has two pair or is bluffing a missed flush.

I bet more on the turn and check call the river

Is this the kind of player that had been playing crap hands? He was in the BB and could have had a BB type hand he figured he was in for $1 and would call the preflop bet and see what flops. Maybe he turned a flush draw with a hand like 3 6 diamonds or had 33. I think you're beat. And yes, your turn bet was too small.

[lemming]

Calling down with 3s? Don't think so... 67 (maybe of clubs) would be tough spot for you, but I don't really see how you can get away from this...

Definitely bet more on the turn. But play was ok overall...

Bet more on the turn (~$20). Check the river.

You can't check the river against a tricky player. They will absolutely read for weakness and bet you off your hand. You have to make a pot sized bet on river.

kinda tough for them to do it they check, and then you check

I think the turn bet is a little small, same for the river, I don't see him having a 3 all that often, or slowplaying 76 on the turn(though they are donkeys and might) so I'd call the raise

That makes no sense, unless you thought I was first to act.

I am in position.
