this obviously comes down to reads and knowing your player, but given the history between the two of you and given his aggressive style, did you consider checking behind on the turn and then calling any bet on the river no matter what?

seems like a good way to induce a bluff vs. an aggressive player who "pushes you around post-flop" frequently.

you just calling the min-raise and then checking behind shows a lot of weakness and i think there is a greater chance that he will bluff at the river if you check behind, and it will be harder to get paid off by a worse hand if you bet the turn.

smooth calling a check-raise in position and then firing the turn is a HUGE sign of strength.
that being said if he had you beat i think he insta-pushes river due to the fact that you obviously like your hand.

which once again reinforces the validity of checking behind on the turn, just as long as you are committed to calling any bet on the river regardless of the card that falls.
