check raise, but i prefer betting. he will call you with a straight if that's what he flopped, he will call you with any weak flush he flopped, he will raise you with a boat. then you 3-bet.

I'd lead the turn and call a raise. What the hell are you doing on the river? bet/3-bet please.

With no diamond I think calling the flop raise and betting the turn is best. It's an ugly line, but it prevents you from giving him a free card, and your edge on this flop is minimal if it even exists.

Are you really scared of 77? Bet/3-bet/5-bet. He'll have a flush, trips, worse full house plently more than 77.

Well I put him on a flush(high likelyhood),boat(somewhat likely) or a straight(unlikely). So I figured I would get 2 bets vs flush,straight with this line. I didnt think villain would raise me with a low flush or a straight. Vs a boat it doesnt really matter how I play.

It was on the flop/turn I feared anything. 65d is also a possibility so I hold the 3 nut.

Monsters under the bed. Theres no cap HU at Crypto right? I'd probably put 6 or 7 bets in on the river.

You'd be surprised how much people raise here. You'd also be surprised how much he just has a pair and calls you when he would check though.

Well there's no cap a crypto so you may get 5 bets out of him instead of 4. That's of only marginally significance though.

65d is pretty unlikely. And 77 is rare enough that I think this is worth at least 2 bets on the river. I'd bet-call, since he's never folding anything here probably.
