I played with villain about 30 hands and he was playing sth like 23/14 with 3bet pecentage of 5. I played sth like 40/35, because the BU in this hand and villain were extremly thight from the blinds and therefore i could steal a lot. The SB in this Hand was the mark at the table and was playing 39/14 with 0% 3bet at that point over 30 hands.

I think preflop and flop are standard.

On the turn i think i have to options: Either check to induce him to bet his floats(draws and overcards) and call or i can vbet against pocketpairs,flushdraws and some Qx like AQs,AQo,QJs,KQs and KQo. I decided to bet, because i 2nd barrell in this spot often and i think i can get value from hand like 88 which he would otherwise checkbehind maybe.

On the river the flush is now possible and i would like to know what you guys think the best play is in this spot.
I think the CU got to the river with a range of TT-77, AQs, KQs, QJs, AsJs, KsJs, QsTs, JsTs, Ts9s, 9s8s, 8s7s, AQo, KQo against which i have 84% Equity.


My question are:
What do you do on the river and why?(bet/fold,check/fold or check/call,..)

DO you play other streets the same way?

Thank you in advance.

Bet larger on turn. Vs a reg i may consider checking the turn to induce but against any one else i would just value bet rather than play a check call guessing game. On the river i think its rare you get a worse hand to call but you be able to induce a bet from a strong Q and and maybe a PP he thinks is cool to turn into a bluff.
My problem with betting is that he could raise me off the best hand, and my problem with checking is he could check behind with a worse hand that could have called a small bet.
I would bet 16 and fold to a raise but i think the 2 plays are quite close. Atleast if we bet we maintain an aggressive image and may get action from our tripple barrels later on in the session when we have a strong value hand.

I'd bet turn a little bigger, I think the river is a bet/fold to get value from PPs+Qs, id keep the bet slightly on the small side though to make sure all of his pps remain within his calling range.
