Default 76o BB

40/80 live game is running 4-handed. The Button open-raises as I'm guessing he'll do maybe 60% of the time. He's a regular in this game and I'm not and I haven't played many hands in this session and have shown down even fewer and I'm pretty sure that he thinks I might fold too much. He's ordinarily a pretty good player but has been drinking and riled up some by a LAG who was at the table earlier and has been getting crazy with semibluffs and so forth.

Anyway Button open-raises, SB folds, I 3-bet from the BB with 76o, he calls.

The flop is QJ6 I think with a flush draw I bet, he raises, I call.

Turn is a total blank I check he bets I call.

The river is a K. In order of ascending absurdity, should I

check-fold
check-call
bet-fold
bet-call
check-raise

???

i think you should have called PF and C/R the flop.

but i dunno what to do on the river, I'm leaving towards check/fold because I don't know what kind of hand he will still be pushing that you beat. if you think he can play Ax that hard until the river it might be worth a call but otherwise i feel it's a muck.

I call preflop 99% of the time but this is that 1%. The game had gone from 8-handed to 4-handed pretty quickly and I think he'd tried to steal my blind maybe 4 times out of 5 since then. I wanted to do something "noisy" to alter the way I was perceived and I felt I had do it fairly soon.

Bet-fold would be my choice.

If you truly think he's raising 60% preflop and trying to run you over, induce the bluff. And while you're busy inducing, add another bet and c/r.

Checking to induce makes sense. Checking to induce and then raising doesn't.

Makes sense to me, because you're inducing bluffs and thin value bets. The game is live, when you c/r there might be a lot that he folds.

Then you're not checking to induce.

I don't play nearly this high, so this is probably a basic question to you guys. Why play with 76o? I understand the raise, to take control from a possible steal raise, but why not just fold and wait for a stronger hand?
