You have to either bet or checkraise this flop, and bet the turn.

There are too many overcards that can hurt your hand.

Also, you are most likely ahead and missing bets from hands like AK, 88, etc. that will call you all the way to the river.

i usually cr the flop all day. heres what happens: villain calls the cr and folds the turn unimproved.

so i wanted to try something different and was gonna cr the turn. that way i get an extra half bet when he folds the turn to the cr.

he foiled my plans by checking behind. now, on the riv his range is huge. if i bet he is folding all but pairs and ace high. hands that he likely would have bet on the turn. so checking the riv seems to induce a bluff. or maybe he is value betting lower pairs or a4/5.

anyways, i checkraised the river and he called with 99. strange hand.

Another way to exploit this is to take some stabs at flops like this with your hands that miss especially something like 87s on this flop where you have some backdoor potential. I tend to think most people are somewhat exploitable in not recognizing bluff inviting boards and the adjustments they should make in calling raises on them.

i think i'd c/r the flop and lead the turn

what i do on the flop depends on how i think this guy thinks i'll react to him. if i've been cring a lot of flops against him, he thinks i might make a move here and might play back at me, then i cr the flop. if i've been doing more check/calling against him then i'd call and cr the turn (i assume that was your plan?) as a chronic flop checkraiser personally i'd checkraise.

after thinking about it some, i think i like the river checkraise given how the hand played out. those are some aggro stats, and if this guy has a hand with any showdown value he's likely betting the turn. so i think he's more likely to stab at this on the river than he is to call a bet.

I would have probably check raised the flop.
That said, I'm really starting to like the river check against a fairly aggro villain. Maybe I should add that to my game.
