UTG: I had only 3 hands and he was playing 100/67. According to statistics and sizing of the bet I assume that it is fishy player.
MP: 50/30 after 10 hands.

Preflop: I squeeze, because I think my range is stronger and I don't want to play oop 3way. Now I would raise bigger, around 10bbs. After the fold of UTG, MP call was a surprise for me, which led to assumpteion that it can be a fishy player as well. I think his range can be any pairs and broadway suited hands.

Flop: Here is the question. Should I cbet or just be in chk/fold as I haven't hit the flop? I bet because i wanted to get him fold the small pairs.

Turn: The clover helped his range, so I was in chk/fold at this point.

River: Now I would be only on chk/fold

Please share any thoughts regarding this play. Thx.

Hmmmm,
The turn is an ideal bluff card, but how much to bet vs an unknown?
If you do get called, though you must follow up with a river bet.

I'm curious to hear what others say...
VS

I have moved your hand to the hand discussion forum. Then you get more response.
If you want to represent something you need to bluff the turn as well. Now it’s tough to let him fold to many better hands on the river after the check on the turn.

Cbet flop is fine. After he called 2/3 bet, he always have something like Kx, FD, JJ,TT,99,98s,87s that can be his range ott and on our bluff bet he will fold 87s and JJ,TT without club, so I don't think we have enough fold equity and we haven't more outs, because we will dominated by his flashes and two pairs after we hit Ace. So I would give up on the turn and check otr as well, because line bet check bet seems like a bluff and many fishes do it as well, so it's easy to exploit.

C-bet flop 100% agree.

I would check turn.
I do not agree with VorpalF2F that it is a good bluff card because it is so not our range (an A or Q might be a bluff card here).

Without seeing the spoiler i would never bet the river (way too much villains range).

Seen spoiler (wow!)

Preflop: I like the squeeze to isolate the weaker player

Flop: 1/3-1/2 pot will suffice, don't waste money bluffing

River: he will have a ton of 2pairs, straights and top pairs. If you want to blow a fish off top pair, don't EVER use a 40% pot sizing, he will just call because POT ODDS.

In short, river was butchered pretty badly, it's a card which helps his range way more than it helps yours, and he may not necessarily fold top pair.

Thank you very much for answers. Today I had a similar situation, so these thoughts helped a lot.

I don't know about the preflop bet. Do you have to bet? I'm asking you guys: if we bet 3-bet preflop, do we always have to 3-bet? I mean he has a lot of Ks in his range.
