$200 NL HE 6-max: $ : AQ top pair for thin value

Villain is 40/24/2 (%34), 3bets $8, 43/45/40 fold to barrels, %30 wtsd, doesn't check-raise much, and sucks at card games.

Just a line check against a guy like this. I think maybe river is too thin?

Against this villain, I think there's certainly merit in a 3rd barrel as he probably calls down with weaker Q and some Jx stuff as well.

This is goot. I bet more on the flop/turn too. You're against a station with top pair. Value town that punk. Lots of pair + draw crap in his range here that still missed.

I agree with c9 here all around. You gotta fire three here since he never folds. I also make my raises bigger. Any reason you made them so small?

no, I just wasn't thinking. On such a drawy board I think we can nearly pot/pot it and go smaller on river, snapfolding if he check-raises anywhere.

I think I bet more on flop and turn and check back river, because it becomes extremely thin for villain to call down with worse

I like this. His part of his river calling range that beats us is simply bigger than the part that we beat, unless he's ridiculously loose, but since it's also a board that means that he either has to have a pair or a draw, I think putting in two larger bets and checking back this particular river makes perfect sense.
