Thoughts?

I put the villain on a draw, and was hoping to bet him out on the turn.

Is the river check awful? Should I have checked the turn instead of betting? Bet more on the turn?

He WAS on the draw, but caught his queen. The bastard.

River check is fine (betting would be awful).

Turn check > Big turn bet > medium turn bet

So check the turn. it could just as easily be slowplayed trip 10's going for a checkraise, and if they're drawing, it'll be pretty clear when they miss on the river. And if you feel confident in your read, bet a full pot. It'll be a lot harder for a draw to call.

On a paired board I check behind this turn pretty much everytime, people do the classical "check/call flop, check/raise turn" with trips all the time, and it keeps the pot manageable. As someone said also, if you want to push out draws it's easier to do so poting them instead of barely over half poting them

So your general line is to bet the flop, then check/fold the turn with a bet back?

Unimproved, yes. I'm trying to find spots to fire 2nd barrels on however, but I don't think this one is good

In 25NL? Obviously this is not a good spot to keep betting but you make re-bluffs at this level unimproved? Do you find that most donkeyfish will call you anyway?
