What's with this "hasn't been much insight" crap? Jeez. How insightful do you find: 'I feel like there wasn't much good poker in the OP'?
I think we can all do a little better than that.

You aren't giving him a chance to hang himself, you're giving him a chance to see a free showdown. Bet the turn weakly and maybe he'll make a silly passive call or maybe he'll see it as a bluff and raise. Or maybe he folds. Him folding is a lot like seeing showdown, except you never lose when he folds.

Also, if you need to be "proven" wrong then you are claiming to be right. You're putting the burden on the forum to convince you your line was wrong, I'd say the burden is on you to convince us that checking the river is a good line.

Just to add, I think leading this flop is gross... I reserve doing that for only the most aggressive players...

I think you may have that backwards.

Yeah. I meant the other way.

really? I thought you meant you reserve it for the most agressive players, those who will routinely bluff-raise. made sense to me...

I wrote that post when I was torched, so I have no idea what I meant. But given this situation, I definitely didn't mean what I typed. I understand your thinking and think it makes sense if we were deeper.
