New poster here who frequents 2+2 but doesn't post a lot. I wanted to get some feedback on my line on this hand. Villan is a typical LAG (50% VP$IP, goes to way too many showdows with the worst hand). This is about 4 orbits into my session. On the previous hand I had shown a good laydown (88 vs an unknown on a QQ45r board). I think everything is fine, but I'm concerned about my river play.

I think I should have checked hoping he would make an attemp, and to make my turn bet look like a failed attempt to win the pot right there. With his wide range of hand I know my hand is good, so am I just hoping he calls with two pair or do I let him off cheap by playing way too aggressive out of the blinds?

Comments and criticism are encouraged!

what is the reasoning for hte turn raise?

The reason is two fold.

1) As I had stated in OP I wanted the turn bet to look like a attempt to win the pot right there. I figured he could have anything but I had seen him play flush and straight draws aggressivly.

2) I wanted to charge him enough that if he was on a flush draw he would check the river to me. If I didn't fill up on the river and a scare card I hit I could check behind.

You hooked him, and then let him go with big river bet, you already know that...

He probably missed though, use the speed of the fold as your guide...

Its usually better to make a weak lead on the river. He will call you with marginal hands, and you give him the opportunity to come over you.

Betting pot lets him get away from 95% of his hands.

If you check, he might take a stab at it, but he will probably check through hands with showdown value.

I'm confused.... I thought Hero was first to act. Villain can't check to Hero because he acts second, nor can Hero check and let Villain bluff a missed draw (which was what you put him on, right?), since Hero checkraised the turn.
