He has to put you on a big Ace or PP after your preflop 3-bet. He knows he can't bluff you out of an Ace on this river and that you would have folded (or would fold) a PP on the turn/river. If he sees your turn check-call as a picked up flush draw then he knows his hand is no good. Basically, it seems that Raise! has no reason to bet this river unless he's fairly strong.

I think it's a check-fold.

Sometimes people bet when they shouldn't. That's the whole point of checking and calling.

i like the turn checkcall and i agree with not donking the river, thats just silly but i think a checkfold could be considered, no?

definitely can't c/f this river, however, i would'nt 3bet preflop, you're out of position and not ahead of much. i would call pf, c/c, c/r turn

you turn bet didnt get raised so this looks like following through with the plan to me - folding the river with top pair not no kicker isnt going to happen unless i know something a lot better than i'm not a favourite to win

The turn bet was made by the villain, not the hero.

the drugs do that to me although this time they failed to kick in

i didnt mean to imply that betting the turn is the way to go - i dont mind check/calling the turn - it could be not knowing what to do if your raised

i chose to not bet the turn so the hand got a bit strange because that isnt happening most of the time - at least it isnt common when i actually have top pair not no kicker - i could wonder about whether my guy has a hand worse than mine given his actions to date more than something like 20% of the time - after all he can play so he knows that i should have at least this much like all the time - i will worry that i'm a chook when he turns over AQo or some such rock

i could go there or i could just figure its top pair not no kicker played a bit strange and press call

It seems like you need to have some history with villain to make this a good move. I know you have a read on him, but did you really have enough of a read to know that he wouldn't call down with a worse pair or might even raise with a worse hand? And had villain ever seen you take such a passive line before?

Would you consider taking this line against someone who had never seen you stop

nice hand.

I think calling PR and playing fit or fold also has merits. Would you also 3 bet ATo?

I really like it. Nice line to add to the repertoire. Would you play AJ the same?
