I am not happy posting this hand because of how terrible I played it, but I want to learn some things from it, so here goes...
Reason for spew - Villan has taken this line a lot, I have played like 4 - 5 games vs him in a row so far and he plays very passive and always seems to check/call check/raise turn when I cbet. I had folded so many times before and just felt like I was getting owned by him a lot. Turns out he was just running like god and hitting flops pretty hard every time (as there are a few hands where I ended up calling and he hit top pair + and took this line)
Ok so about hand assuming we are playing read less.
In this spot do you think its better to check behind and call a turn bet or cbet for protection?
Turn like as played I prefer to check behind, what do you think?
