Did I play this wrong on the river?

[z32fanatic]

At this point, my bets and raises are getting tons of respect as I have only shown down winners and have taken MP's stack multiple times. MP has also bluffed many times and showed, leaving me to believe he is a typical LAG. One other key hand I played against him I checked the river to him when I was unsure of my hand. He bet all in which was about 1/2 the pot and I called to have him show a bluff. I put MP on a draw after he cold called the bet and check raise. After the draw didn't hit, should I have checked to him and let him bluff at it? If he is on a draw he won't call anything, so should I check?

Hard to say. Since you called him once on the river and burned him I wouldn't expect him to do it again without a hand. His call on the river indicates to me that he thinks he can improve but has no concept of pot odds.

What do you think he had? I guess I would put him on a missed straight... maybe a QJ? At least it wasn't AT...

I would have likely bet out like you did.

raise pre-flop, and raise more on the flop.

the turn's fine.

i would check the river. just because you snapped off his bluff earlier doesn't mean he won't try again. i also like the river check because he might have been calling with a ten. in that case, he'll raise the river, and since he's bluffed a fair amount, i might have to pay him off. check-calling keeps the pot smaller.

i'd say we're probably looking at 1 of 3 hands:

1) flush draw - you want to check. might not get any $ in anyway, but if you check you've got a chance.

2) ten - you want to check.

3) smaller king - you want to bet. KQ may or may not try to bet for value here, but it's pretty likely to call a bet.

i think 1) + 2) is more likely than 3)... i'd bet.
