Default 88 - Three Questions

Hi all, villian here was unknown when I played this hand, seemed slightly loose and aggressive.

PokerStars 5/10 Hold'em (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (4.40 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

Turn: (3.20 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero ...

I usually bet the turn fold to a river bet or turn check/raise.

Question 1: Do you call a river bet on a river blank after betting the turn with the 2 draws out there?

I have occasionally been c/r'd here by pocket pairs or even ace high. Assume I have been getting check/raised a lot on the turn at this table and decide to check the turn call most rivers to avoid folding the best hand.

Question 2: Should I abandon my plan if villian bets and the river is a Q?

Question 3: Do you fold the river when it's the Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]?

FWIW, I like betting this turn and folding to a raise. Way too many draws out there. If the guy is very aggressive or the board is more ragged, then I like checking through the turn and calling 1 on the river.

Question 1: I'm calling a river brick that is below a 9. It just looks too much like a missed draw / last attempt to take the pot.

Question 2: Yeah, folding the Q here. Hits a lot of his drawing hands, one way or another.

Question 3: Same as above, even more so.

Yep, bet/fold is the best line here.

If i check the turn i'm calling a river bet due to so many lame bluffs (ACE high, K6 for 2 pair etc).

You can let this go if he bets a queen on the river yes.

If he bets, Yes.

P.s. Now show us the T/R action [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
