BB is capable of 3 betting a worse hand and betting at least the flop and turn unimproved. Do I fold the turn UI? And should I raise the turn once I improve or let him carry on bluffing?

I'd cap preflop and raise the river.

Duder I played a hand just like this earlier and I almost posted it. That is a beautiful call on the turn. The king on the river might make me just call since I'm a bit worried about KK, but I would consider raising the river.

Raising the turn is bad bad bad. If he has a hand like JJ or QQ he might fold out and you want him to bet again on the river. The river is close between calling and raising and I don't really blame you for calling. If the river were a blank you really need to raise.

Don't you guys ever sleep? I would raise the river here. You know, use his over aggro-ness against him.

Good calls on the flop and on the turn. A raise on the turn would only give worse hands an opportunity to fold.

I guess your intention was to raise the river? The K /images/graemlins/heart.gif makes this a little bit more dangerous and it's now close between calling and raising. The flush I don't believe in. AA,KK,QQ,JJ,TT,99,AK,AQ,AJ, all possible holdings, some more likely than others. Close but I think I would have raised.

Yes, I would fold the turn UI, but you did improve and you say you want to keep him bluffing.
So when he is bluffing, why don't you raise the river?

We are behind AK, KK, AA, and any two hearts. I think the call is alright.
