Odd line against a fairly aggressive opponent.
 

Party's $5/10. 5-handed but I'm posting it here anyway as the game was playing very much like a full ring $2/4 game with a LAG or two thrown in. My image is probably somewhat LAG but it's doubtful anyone at this table is paying much attention.

UTG folds. One somewhat aggressive player limps in middle position. He sees showdowns too often but is probably an average handreader, capable of folding when it's clear he's beaten but sometimes it takes a bit of convincing (usually multiple bets on a big street). Bad loose button limps. SB folds. I check in the BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Three to the flop.

Flop is K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I bet. Aggressive limper calls. Button folds.

Turn is a 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I check. Aggressive limper bets. I call.

River is the 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I bet.

So you:

1. Figured him to fold to a turn c/r
2. Figured him to call the river bet?

Why not raise the turn? Are you sure he's going to fold unless he has The A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]?

You say fairly aggressive sees too many showdowns. If he has a heart I think he calls a turn raise and calls a river bet. Basically I think you're good more often then not and are missing a bet. Now, if he doesn't have a heart he probally folds to the CR, but then I doubt he'd call your river bet.

If you checkraise and are 3-bet, what's your play? Also, how often are you seeing someone with the 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] call a turn checkraise and a river bet?

Would you really lay down the third nuts against an aggressive player for 1 bet on the river? No way in hell I fold to a raise -- in fact, I *want* him to raise with likely a worse hand. I wouldn't 3-bet, obviously, but I'm calling this every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
