Yeah because he's basically unknown we don't really know what river shoves mean yet. So to hopefully avoid it we could bet the turn and cross our fingers that this guy checks the river to us so we can check behind and get it there cheaper than if we call a shove on the river.

If we get donked into on the river we're usually looking at a strong hand since most players don't get too far out of line on the river especially if they are tight. Although after betting the turn, we may have odds to call a river shove anyway. It kinda blows because betting the turn almost forces a call on the river, whereas checking the turn just makes a really difficult call on the river.

I play full ring so I'm not sure how spazzy players get by the river in 6-max, but usually when facing a shove from a standard player on the river you're looking at strength more often than garbage.
