Villain 17/13/75 over 200+ hands. his FCB is only 17% so he presumably floats a lot, and judging from is aggression factor probably bets turn with most of his range when checked to, so that’s why i went for a check raise on turn to trap more money into the pot when he bets and extract value from his floats/draws as well as his made hands. what do you think about the way i played the hand? i feel i should have bet more on the flop and made my turn check/raise bigger to charge him more to draw to a flush or "boat mine", and if he has a queen he isn't folding to any size anyway. on the river he could easily have a flush but am i ever folding to such a small reraise (pot odds ridiculously good)?

Interesting hand. I would just keep firing for value on all three streets making the river half pot to give him room to overshove on the end if he wants. If you are certain he will bet if you check I suppose a CR is OK . oop you can lose a ton of value if he checks back something like a worse straight or 2pair on the end.

yea i knew i could get him to bet when i checked the turn so i would be able to build a bigger pot by check raising there. however i feel my check raise was a little small giving him good implied odds to draw to a flush or boat. i think making it $3 would be a better size, do you agree? On the river i don't get your point "to give him room to overshove if he wants" cos i just feel he would never be bluffing on that river, and most often wouldn't be raising worse for value, so that's why i asked is it possible for me to fold my straight to the tiny river raise?

Yes on the turn you still have the nuts so price out the draws, loads of 2 pair combos and smaller straights are calling on this turn, any Q will call an all in so make it full pot.
The half pot bet on the end is a value bet but theoretically fold to a shove (if you can, I can't here its just so sick when you flop the nut straight and get beaten, i'm always looking them up here, especially as any hand with a queen might bet strongly as well)
The chances of him having a flush draw are only about 11-1 on the flop so i'm discounting it until the betting makes me think otherwise.
Well I take it he had the flush A with a baby diamond, AJs diamonds probably raises pre but I wouldn't totally discount it.

yea you are right he had A7dd, but i guess hands like 89dd and QJdd also made sense. i need to be ahead 1/6 times to make the call on the river, so it all depends on whether or not he shoves river 1/6 times as opposed to calling with a hand like QK or QJ no diamonds and i really feel he will be just calling river with those hands most of the time, so i agree in theory i should probably fold but in practice it is very tough :)

This is a fold after villain shoves on the river as by then we are sure than he was very likely drawing to a flush because he called our check raise on the turn.

Well played but you could have saved some chips by bet folding the river instead of bet calling. I would be wary of a flush so checking the river is also not a bad idea in my mind. ;)

Hard to fold. Pot committed

We didn't have 3/4 of our money in the pot... we spent a bit over half our money, but sometimes these folding opportunities save us money in the long run.

we weren't pot committed and the river shove we could easily fold if we have a read.
