Pretty clear cut?

this guy is 44/28/1.4. Pretty aggressive preflop but he does know how to fold post. Anyway, FPS or good to go?

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG folds, SB calls.

Turn: (2.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: (2.50 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls.

Final Pot: 10.50 BB

I'd normally go ahead and bet the turn, but if you can get in 4 bets on the river, you're way is probably better.

I bet the turn. you're giving him a free card and wouldn't he reraise turn/river if he hit anyway? What hand will he not reraise river if you bet the turn?

depends if he folds on the turn or not. He had Q6o i believe.

I bet the turn, but would consider checking against a slightly tighter and more aggressive player. He's probably calling your turn bet anyways, and from his stats it doens't look like he's on an insane bluff, so you're probably getting raises in on the river no matter what.

Is the title a Phil Helmuth reference or ?

Anyway, I think this might be the right kind of spot to do this. Pot is extremely small and it our opponent is very likely drawing dead. Let him bluff or even better, catch something on the river where you will get a bunch of bets from him.

The downside is if he already has a made hand which would've called you down anyway, but it doesn't seem like that's the case.
