Villain is like 24/18 TAG who doesn't really 'get it' and doesn't adjust very well to my aggression. I like to fuck with him a good bit, RRing him IP and stuff. He check/folds a fair few flops to me when I call his raises pf with position though I was surprised when he checked this flop whatever his range is.

em.. I guess thats an option. I kinda feel that if calling is an option than raising is always better.

Your hand is really just a bluff catcher here in this spot now. You're not raising this river for value, you'd be turning it into a bluff right? I guess raising folds out a good chunk of his range though... I'm just running through thoughts, obv I dont play this level - tell me if I'm way off.

This is the type of guy who can show up with a flush here though. And he's not folding a T to a raise. It'd also be really weird to see him show up with a better two pair or a set. I don't see how a raise could possibly be better than a call.

I'm not so sure this is true. Of course the problem is will he realise that I probably can't have a flush here?
I really can't understand why he didn't bet the flop though. I mean this flop should be an easy bet regardless of his range and how much I float.

i just call this. i think folding is a mild mistake, and i think raising is a big mistake, because we have good equity, and all raising does is fuck that equity, so why do it?
