Final Pot: 6 BB

This guy is a 37/0 who likes the odd bluff check-raise. I decided to check behind and call a river bet would be superior to having to make a laydown in a situation where hes going to bluff close to 60% of the time.

Hey ArturiasX -- if you really think he'll bluff that often, bet and let him bluff-raise. Just don't fold. You charge any singleton clubs and protect against 5 or 6 outers he's got.

I think there's a good chance he has a 9 too though, which means hes probably calling down anyway. I'd like to see a showdown as cheap as possible.

I like this because your line suggests you'll fold the river unless it's a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] so there's an extra incentive for him to fire on the river with nothing.
