I bet half-size on flop to NOT fold out weaker Qs, Ax small PP
He likes that, so I bet bigger on turn, believing I still have the best hand, and believing he will call again with worse.
I'm willing to check/check the river, but get a 2.5x pot bet.
I do NOT believe he has the goods.
If he REALLY wanted a call, he would bet something callable.
If thought I would call with my entire range, he would shove.
I could easily fold to a shove, but this ???
How to proceed?
Nothing I could think of seemed right.
Folding seemed too exploitable,
Raising seemed spewy.
Calling seemed slightly less spewy,.
