villain playing 37/30/ 20 3bet over 67 hands
no reads/stats on post flop play

on turn i was torn between checking back or betting. villain reacts by check/raising small, and i feel he is full of it often. if villain had a hand he would likely lead turn, or check/raise bigger due to board coordination.

from there i was thinking of either 3betting or calling and betting most rivers since i thought villain would check a lot.

probably best just to either check or bet give up on turn though...

Hi.

Flop: Vs a tighter reg I would cbet here. Vs this loose fish (who probably defends the blinds way tighter than he should), I do think that checking back with the intention of showing down Ace high is the best play

Turn: I see no reason to bet still - Ace high has good SD value and after you get raised I don't like calling here. I just think that your hand is way too weak to do so. He is going to bet the River so often and there's nothing you can do about it.

I don't think his line is weird at all. If I had a monster or draw I'll choose to play it like he did.

Thanks.

i agree that i should have checked back turn.

just a question, with a draw or monster would you xr so small on such a coordinated board?

that was the only thing that threw me off and caused me to play the way i did (not optimally)

i'll probably raise to 7 or 8 but I don't think you should read too much into his raise size. I don't think his range is capped here just because he made it $1 less than what he probably should have.
