Default 20/40 PP HU vs. Stuck_Again make a desperate call?

We have been playing for about a half hour 3 handed. I seem slightly overaggro at this time, and he probably hates me for 2 outering him earlier. For those of you who don't know him, he's like 40/30 when 3 handed and is too aggro postflop. What do you put him on here? Is this a busted draw often enough for me to call, or is this downswing getting to my head?

He openraises on the button (he's ~55 att.tosteal), I 3bet from the BB with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], he calls.

Flop comes A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet he raises I call.

Turn comes 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check he checks behind.

River comes 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check he bets...

If you are going to put more $ in this pot with K-high UI, I like a turn lead.

doesn't seem like the type to take a free card with a draw though... does he usually? think he'd ever decide to check the turn with something like a T or a PP?

All very relevant questions. FWIW I think he would be more likely to take a free card with a draw than he would be to check behind T/PP.

What do you think this check behind means?

it's so tough to say. i think we can agree that whether he has a big hand, draw, or not much at all, he'd usually be betting the turn. so when he throws out something strange like this, i think i'd be more inclined to believe he was trying some sort of slowplay against you by checking the turn. he's out to get you, i think that he probably bets his made hands/draws on the turn against you close to always but i can see him trying something like this with a big hand.

raising the flop then checking the turn and betting the river with a weak/nothing hand or draw just doesn't make as much sense from this guy IMO. i don't know if the pot's big enough to look him up.

How would you play an ace in this situation? What range of hands had you been 3-betting PF? How often do you wait until the turn to CR? There's no way anyone can answer this without more details.

is raising just stupid here? would he ever fold a smallish pair maybe?

yeah i thought all the river actions were possibilities, but i don't know if this is the kinda guy to fold for one more bet. maybe he checks the turn with those hands though
