Default Donkbet, hearts, etc.

5/10 short on PP

I'm in UTG+1. In UTG is a favorite LAG of mine. 56/26/2.

Important trend, however, is in his street by street AFs.

Flop- 1.6, Turn- 2.2, River- 4.2.

To me, this indicates that he loves to bluff and slowplay. This numerical trend is furthermore supported by observation of him bluffing A high into a 4 straight turn and bluff raising the river with an underpair (he has 6x board AJ68y).

I have A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG limps, I raise, everyone else clears out, he calls. (5 and 2/5 SB).

Flop is T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet.

Turn is 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He bets.

At this point I call, planning on calling the river. Could raise here, should I have? My thinking was that there is definetly a chance that he could have hearts here. He could also be bluffing with air, or with a lone heart. Or he could be betting a 3 or a T or a J. Anything really. I think that he'll fold to a raise if he's behind, but he's 3-betting his flushes and sets. Perhaps 2 pair, not sure.

River is 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He bets and I call.

Meh?

U gotta raise the turn imo. A lag will surely c/r a flush. Is he smart enough to go for the bet/3bet from a TAG? I doubt it.

This will be random crap most of the time, maybe a heart draw/str8 draw.

Yeah, given the read, I think this is a pretty easy raise.

That's how I play it. Even Lags get hands. If he's aggressive enough to bluff the river with a missed draw why would you want to "charge him" for it? He'll bet the river regardless, and it's not like he's going to call a river bet with a missed draw. Let him keep bluffing.

You're going to miss an extra bet the times you are ahead of his pair by just calling down. It's not like we're raising for a free showdown.
