Default Get to showdown.

Villian in this hand is reasonable but a tad aggro, 25/15/5 from 150 hands. ATS is 35. Am i right to let him keep firing? Would anyone check-raise this river?

That's fine. I might lead the river though.

My thoughts exactly, if this guy was less aggro i'm definatly leading the river.

As is, 5.0 over 150's still pretty f'n high and I like c/c

it is a good thought, but overagression also makes bet/call river attractive.

Wouldn't his high aggression make him more likely to fold to a river bet if he didn't have much? He's playing raise or fold poker. Of course, if we have a read that he goes nuts with marginal holdings I like bet/call the river.

Doesn't this put you in a pretty tough spot when he raises the turn? (Which I imagine he'll do often)

if he does raise the turn, sometimes it is a tough spot. But your hand is way ahead of his range here and you're missing value especially when you give him the chance to take a free card on the turn with a hand that has outs or would call a turn bet. Maybe if you give me an example of a turn card I can tell you what I'd do against a raise from this player. Also, a lot of times he'll put you on a straight draw and call down with a lower pocket pair or even ace high.

Good points, I'm starting to like check-raising this flop. As some examples of turn moves, what would you do if raised on this board, or a turn brick.
