Playing El Diablo
The game is 4-handed at a full table, waiting for suckers. El Diablo has been playing pretty aggressively, but he's no maniac. You've been playing relatively conservatively. You're a 2+2er and he knows that. And he knows you know who he is. So, that's all out of the way. You have KK.
Hero, of course, is El Diablo. Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (4 handed) converter Preflop: UTG folds, Button folds, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, SB caps, Hero calls. Flop: (8 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero calls. Turn: (7 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls. River: (15 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> Check or bet the river. If you bet and El Diablo raises, 3-bet or call? Comments on other streets welcomed as well.

Re: Playing El Diablo
check/call
pocket jacks and pocket 10's are possible. Stop and go on the flop looks pretty scary. I'm beat way to often to make betting profitable.

El Diablo has AK 0% of the time here. But I'll play along. Let's say in this fantasy world El Diablo does not have AQ. I mock him for the 8BBs he donated on the first three streets, and I remind him of that fact when he heckles me for missing on one measley river bet.

Re: Playing El Diablo
It's Hero's turn cap that is the most telling. He won't cap with a just a flush draw or a pair and a flush draw. He will cap with AQ (including AsQs). He'll also cap with TT, JJ, and planning to take a free river, KJ and AK.
He's not likely to raise the river unless he has AsQs, so the river bet will usually be +1 or -1. Thinking that against the range of hands Hero would play this way, it will more often be +1, I'd bet into the pretty aggressive devil.
