River is a 3. He bets $200.

Agressive, possibly tricky... I think he knows about the horrors of bluffing into a dry side pot.

I probably have to lay down here.

The failure to make a CB means something. Could be a miss, could be looking for a c/r. Very important to have a clue here. I think I check behind on the flop, both to keep the pot small and because I don't think my pp can stand a lot of pressure. QT, JT are pretty standard and depending on how many players you could be up against AT, KT.

If you liked this hand well enough to lead the flop and step into a possible c/r then you have to fire the second barrell on the turn or give it up. Your check behind on the turn induces a bluff.

I really can't fault the flop bet because I wasn't there. But you had to think about-have a plan for-the possible c/r. I would think a fold or push would have been good, probably fold and wait for a better spot.

Be a bettor not a caller.
