160 hands vs xem. WTSD 19%. AF 1.3.
Xe was stealing 78% but xe was a fairly passive "abc" player that lacked knowledge in many fields.
Xyr flop cbet was 47% (decreasing until 0% on river), so generally I expect xem to have something when xe cbets, yet the 2 previous times in which I check/raised (with value!) xe folded.
With a gutshot+BDFD+overcards I therefore decided to bluff raise (is that ok?) and see what happens.
Xe calls, so I put xem minimum on a decent draw or 2nd pair+. Yet I get my TP and bet for value(/protection).
A not-so-blank river comes but given how tight xe was for showdowns so far I don't see xem calling with a worse hand, and a draw is now dead.
Xe didn't show any will to steal pots so far with busted draws or anything so I just decided to check/fold.
Too weak? Did I have a value bet on river? What calls me?
