I used to always fold small pp from early position, but have recently been trying to raise any pp from any position to see how it goes, especially when I have a deeper stack. This hand I was wondering about.

Read: Villain was running 32/10 over 152 hands. I had seen him limp and cold call often with hands Q9s+, Kxs, Axs, 87s, small pp. He was cold-calling or limp-calling-a-raise 34% of the 77 times he had a chance. on the flop, he had called continuation bets on the flop 10/14 times. One that went to show down, he had a flush draw, the other time he had an over card and some backdoors.

I am wondering whether a blocking bet on the river is better than a check here (something like $10?), and then obviously folding to a raise. Perhaps my mistake was more on the bet-sizing on the previous streets?

Any comments, appreciated.

This looks like a great river to triple barrel. If I bluff 2 streets I am looking exactly for a river like this to give me extra FE.

By the way, I have read posts in the past of good players who have played millions of hands who say low pps are losers from ep. Even if they do add to your shania a bit.

I'd much rather raise 23s+ than 22 UTG, but that's me.

Deanglow is on a distinguished road
 betting the river is a trillion times better than checkcalling. Also fold pre flop and turn

I fold 22-55 from UTG and UTG 1 in FR 100NL games.As played,I would c/f or see a cheap showdown on turn and river vs this station.If u want to try river bluff,you need to bet around $30 to get him off his medium-strength hands IMO.
