There is no shame in checking it down with showdown value. At least less shameful than going insane against bad players with trips

yes you have

but after you fire flop/turn river shovel seems necessary

obvious questions: How often does he c-bet OOP and did you have any reads regarding him slowplaying OOP or calling double/triple barrels on dry boards?

Or are you just going by the assumption that a nit should never get to the riv this way with a set or AA, or 78 due to his preflop nittiness and turn c/c?

Does betting 160 accomplish the same thing as a bluff? a shove looks so bluffy to me here.

This is the exact reason I'd overbet value shove this river 100% v most 25/50/100(some not most here) regs.

Looks fine unless he's checking a bunch of Ax combos to us postflop and not folding 2nd pairs like 77/88/TT-KK on the turn.

Also if he's a huge nit you might make him fold silly trips like A7s/A8s/AT(?) that thinks they are just getting value shoved on 100%

If he's a thinking nit he might have AJ+ in his checking range against u maniaks that will just pavlovian 3-barrel when facing weakness.
At 100NL I would play it the same. No idea where the level of play is at up there and if people regularly check dry boards with TPGK+.

Obviously if you bet flop you have to barrel and stick it in - I would shove any river.
The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.

well I like the double barrel but I don't think you should fire this 100% of the time or even close. The turn improves your range, I don't think the same can be said for the river... Shoving reps exactly FHs whereas a bet of $160 reps FHs, 78 and decent As. I think this is fine some of the time as long as your image is clean as a whistle.

M2M'm image clean as a ?! I guess it does depend on hands you've shown down recently and what he thinks you're capable of if he's even thinking on that high a level.

i like it on every single river card except an Ace, just give it up this time, wrong card came - your FE just dropped significantely, no matter that it doesnt change your precieved hand strength that you are repping.

I disagree with this.. it puts a thinking players range here in a very tough spot... he might get some hero folds

I don't see why we're going AI here. I like firing a third barrel a lot, but as a bluff won't a $170 bet work just as well, AND when we're value betting here, aren't we more likely to bet a smaller amount because it's likely that he has some medium-strong pocket pair he's not going to call a big overbet here..is he?

People usually never fold when they take this line trying to own people.

That being said this is the best possible line to try and get him to fold.

I think you overestimate the amount of aces this villain expects his perceived range to contain. Consider a turn overbet.
