I think I was BB in this hand. I had 87o and called the turn with the intention of folding the river.

seems like an arbitrary use of it to me. it's not very effective against draws. and with only 5 bets in the pot, making him fold isn't a big goal

I like it if he is aggressive with his draws but not tricky enough to do a bluff-donkbet at the river.

you don't gain anything against a draw. if anything you probably lose

Do you think I should have planned to check-call river unimproved if no scare card hits?

I actually thought after the hand that you would have folded the river. But firing the last bullet is not profitable in that spot long term.

Interesting. You are probably right. I am going to think about this some more...

I disagree. Jeff what would you do if you held 9t or a flushdraw on the river if I just called your turn bet? What % of time would you bet?
