[Louie Landale]

You are better off slowing down and letting the loose aggressive folk thrash themselves against your big-pair stone wall. Rarely put yourself in a situation where you don't want to show down your solid hand.

The exception would be if there is a round that he will slow down. If he'll raise the flop, bet the turn, then sensibly check the river than wait until the turn to raise. But if he'll bet the river even with the gut draw that he check-raised you with, then call the flop raise and pay him off.

If you "reluctantly" called the turn bet then you really need to fold the river when he obviously outdrew you with the hand you were HOPING he was over-betting before.
