Q8

[protocol]

Table is very loose, and I have been hitting everything. I have had to show down most of my winners, and haven't been caught in a bluff yet.

Only read on villian is that he is 24/14/2.2, so at least we know his software came with a fold button. I rarely make this turn raise, but I thought I might get him to fold a better hand given my image. Also, if he has overs, I am protecting my hand.

Does anyone like the turn c/r?
Given that he calls the c/r, what do I do on the river?

I would checkraise the flop against this player. You got OESD, backdoor flush draw, and your pair outs will often be good. You don't need too much folding equity to make a flop checkraise correct here. A 24/14/2.2 is exactly the type of player who can lay down on the turn with overs. It is also good that hands like JK don't have any straight draws to justify a turn call (unless they pick one up of course).

River bet seems marginal. I really doubt he's going to call with anything you beat on this board, and I doubt he folds anything that beats you. And yeah, I'd just go ahead and C/R the flop.

I'm gonna sing with the chorus about CRing the flop. I'd also want to check/call the river. We might be able to induce a bluff out of him, and I really doubt that Ace high is calling that river

OK, since everyone is saying to c/r the flop, lets say I do and he just calls. I then would lead the 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif turn. He now raises. Fold?
