Jeez, my reading skills are bad. I thought villian bet and you were asking what your play was. Yah, bet.

I think I'm calling the raise though. I was re-reading SSH last night and a quote stuck in my mind. It was something like: rather than assume players at your table are tight, it's better to assume they're loose (since most SS players are) until you're proven wrong.

I would three bet the flop and lead the turn.

Given the way you played it, I bet the river, thinking about folding to a raise. I don't think many Party 2/4 players are raising the river with hands that beat you.

There are a lot of hands the button could have raised PF and again raised the flop. Of those AA, KK, QQ, and JJ beat you. But there are a lot more that don't (AK,AQ, AJ, KQ, KJs, TT, 99, etc). WIth no read, I'd raise and call a re-raise.

I would usually checkraise the flop. When you bet and he raises, you really haven't learned anything. See how he reacts to a checkraise.

Bet the river, 2 reasons. 1) You don't want him to check behind with a pocket pair like 9's. 2) You want to keep it to 1 bet or 2.
