9-8o 100NL

[Vi-Zer0Skill]

I've been at the table for an hour, and have been playing very active on CO/BTN, as well as being very aggressive on the flop. Possibly a couple double barrels, but i hadn't gotten caught running any bluffs past the turn during this session. My opponent has done a little 3betting, but seems pretty tight and straightforward. i have no real postflop reads on my opponent, and because i don't have my HUD or notes on him i assume i haven't played with him before.

Do you think that checking behind on the turn would be a better line to use for value betting than bet/calling? Against a pretty tight range i have over 80% equity, but if i am check/raised on the turn how often is it by a weaker hand? In addition, how often does A-10 - A-Q call three barrels, assuming they have no read on their opponent as being very aggressive and willing to run three street bluffs? My opponents range is almost certainly devoid of bluffs, given his flop line.

Since you are raising this donkbet with most of your range adding in an OK hand is fine. Definitely bet the turn because most of range still calls.

this is well played, definately bet this turn and shove river.

I've been doing both betting and checking this turn lately, because an AT/AJ/AQ might fold the turn......but if you check you could probably get them to call a decent sized bet on the river.

Really, it's opponent dependent and whether or not you think he'll fold. A bet isn't bad (and is probably best 80% of the time) but a check is okay too. My guess is he folded and you're wondering if you could have extracted more value, correct? Hindsight is 20/20 yo.
