    You guys are assuming villain is a nit based on 120 hands at 15/11? Remember just because he has nitty preflop stats over a small sample size does not mean he plays nitty postflop.

    Anyone want to throw out a range for villain to flat preflop and float the flop? How much of that range stands up to a c/r on the turn? Which of those hands continue to the c/r and call a river shove? Will that play work often enough to make it profitable based on villain's range?

    I am not saying we want to make plays like this every chance we get.. but getting out of line can occasionally be worth our while.

    I find that villains at microstakes can't find the fold button as often as they should, so I don't try to make elaborate bluffs (You want us to get him to fold an overpair, right?).

    I think if he calls your check raise on the turn he is probably not folding the river too often.
    You wanna die? Run on up on that black Seven forty-five.

    Just c/f the turn. This is a very needless and spewy spot to c/r the turn as a bluff then shove river vs a seemingly tight villain who likely just doesn't have a very weak range for floating the flop.

    If he calls turn it's probably pretty awful to shove the river since I'd never expect him to fold overpairs anywhere near often enough and possibly not even top pair. Any hand you get to fold the river that's beating us like 6x or w/e will be folding the turn.
