He's a reg who runs 24/6/3. Only folds to flop cbets 40% of the time though. Such a weird style of play.

$2.5/$5 No Limit Holdem
3 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
BTN ($983.95)
SB ($482.40)
Hero ($485.00)

Pre-flop: ($7.5, 3 players) Hero is BB
1 fold, SB calls $2.5, Hero raises to $20, SB calls $15

Flop: ($45, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $26, SB calls $26

Turn: ($97, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $65, SB calls $65

River: ($227, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $180, SB raises to $371.4, Hero folds

Final Pot: $969.8

SB wins $580 ( won +$97.6 )
Hero lost -$291.00

It sucks to put more than half your stack in and then fold, but what else can you do?

I like a check on the river here, or maybe a smaller value bet. I don't see him calling that river bet with much worse than you have and I don't see him folding AJ or better, so the bet seems undesirable to me.

Do you have any fold to river bet stats?

Have you seen him c/r much before?

If he's not calling many rivers, and has a tendancy to c/r then a check through is ok here. If he calls a lot of barrels I think a weaker bet here can get looked up lighter.

I'm not so sure I like the small river bet line because I think if he checkraises a small bet then I'm in a tougher spot than I am now. Although in saying that, whatever about check raising monsters or air I doubt this guy has the cop on to turn something like JT into a bluff on the river which adds favour to a small river b/f.

The reason I bet pretty big is because I was trying to make my hand look like triple barrelled overcards and I was hoping he'd make a hero call. I don't know If I could ever be sure whether this has a higher expectation than a smaller bet which is obviously for value but which also offers him attractive pot odds.

I didn't have a fold to river stat at the time and I couldn't think of a time when he had checkraised in the past. I just checked my database though and found a hand where he checkraised the river with a back door flush.

Looking at his stats now though he folds to flop bet 39% of the time and folds to turn bets 54% of the time and river bets 20% of the time. So basically my strat for this guy is to double barrel the shit out of him and give up on the river a ton until he adjusts. I'm also not going to go for such thin river value because it looks like he folds all his marginals on the turn. Sound good?
