Villian 35/26/.8
He was up 4 buy-ins...mostly because he had been caught on some big bluffs I think and now people were going after him and he happened to get KK, AK and QQ that hit good all within about 6 hands. He was still bluffing the river some though.

How was my line...anyway I can call that river bet? Should I have led the turn stronger? Raise the flop more?

should have lead out with a pretty big bet on flop wayy too many people + draws on that board... & if you're raised probably fold
fold on river for sure.. unless hes constaaaaantly bluffing then you gamble and call maybe he might have just been drawing to A high flush and hit on the turn

 Look at how weak your c/r was on the flop.... I know it was a stupid min-bet but if you're gonna raise, then raise!

I would probably lead the flop here for pot and see what people do.. if I'm raised I would find a fold most of the time.. no reason to go broke with bottom 2 in an un-raised pot.. You're either slightly ahead, a flip, or crushed.

Your turn bet didn't accomplish much.

I gotta fold to his river bet.

 half pot the river, fold to a big reraise and probably a small reraise too in most cases.

Flop check-raise is really terrible. Just lead out for pot. Bet the pot on the turn, or 3/4 pot minimum. I'd probably call the river.

yeah, flop c/r is bad...and i think you have to fold the river, although, given your description of villian, it's very feasible that he's betting a busted fd.

Looking back through hands I've found my bets are weak.

So...hypothetical. If I had potted the flop and....

1) reraised.....drop it?
2) called & pot -- 3/4 pot called on the turn, then what on the river?
