Default Re: Come yell at me (very iffy turn 3-bets with river checks)

While that's an interesting fact, I'd still like to hear some reasons why 3-betting the turn in the first hand is bad.

Because a very aggro player(like the one in your example) will bet the river with a bluff quite often. By 3-betting you expose yourself to a bluff or to losing your outs when he goes crazy with a draw or a worse hand you're drawing live against and you earn the same amount when you have the best hand.

If your opponent will bet the river as a bluff and won't fold any hands you want to induce a fold from, you should not raise for a free showdown.
