theres a big difference here. in that hand, it was headsup and there were things ivey could call him down with. you'll never see a good villian call down with worse here. also, playing TPTK like a fish (check raise, BET, BET, call push) for metagame reasons doesnt really make sense.

i think i would check call turn and block river, if i decided to call preflop and c/r flop. however, i rr pre and dont usually c/r flop.
