20/40 blind battle

[DrGutshot]

BB here is a 15/10 (Full ring stats) TAG, and i'm sure he opens up here facing a SB openraise. All around he is solid aggressive.

I openraise J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (mistake #1?) he 3bets I call.

flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check-raise he 3bets I call.

turn is a 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

check bet call

river is a 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

check bet call.

standard, right?

Any make a case for folding the river?

I think this is how I play it, so I hope it is standard [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I don't think raising preflop is all that bad. Your hand is basically 50% against a random hand, and you get free money often enough when he folds.

he's raised you at every opportunity and you've shown that you're commited to getting to showdown. i dont see him bluffing many hands other then KT and T9 (but unless you have any read on him, i think a good portion of players give up with those at some point). i also can't see him value betting many hands that you beat.

ultimately this decision comes down to how "solid aggressive" he is. there are some solid aggressives who will follow through here with draws and a lot who don't. if you have any prior hands that lean you one way or the other go with that, but i think there are too many hands you're behind and not enough hands you're ahead of

this is something I have been struggling with a lot from both sides of the HU blind war, cause he has position and can move me off hands so easily. I've responded by folding these kinds of hands that don't hit many flops or don't have great showdown value, I don't know what should happen here. it just seems so often they raise the flop and I have to c/fold the turn or even fold to the flop raise. I'm a weak post.
