Villain and I were kind of aggro 6-handed for a while, no history between us. We got 3-handed with a weaker player for quite a while and developed an nice dynamic: tons of stealing, me 3betting light a lot, him flatting my 3bets and floating me a lot, then me adjusting by double and triple barreling him. People started filling up the full table again and here we are.

He's 37/23/1.6, %34 fold to 3bet, %49 fold to flop bet, %32 ffb in 3bet pots, 32% wtsd, all over 1.5k hands. By my googling he seems to be a really good tourney player too. I'm 30 something/20 something, very lag.

Looking for a general line check here. Turn and river are especially bad cards (AT/AJ/78/etc) and I'm not sure I should be double/triple barreling this or really what I should be doing after the turn.

Yes, I hate my river call too.

i play flop and turn the same, definitely the standard. given the history, checking turn to him definitely becomes an option since he might've floated you. river is probably a c/f for me even with the dynamic descrbed. only hand you really have much hope of getting value from is AQ and that seems pretty unlikely. and he's not going to turn hands like those into a bluff when you check. but betting is definitely better than checking to call

i'm guessing it might have worked out for you in some bizarre way, but c/c just doesn't make any sense at all. there aren't really missed draws for him to bluff. it's either a bet or a c/f. by c/c-ing you're saying either you think he floated two streets to bluff river on this board in a 3bet pot, which is pretty ridiculous, or possibly that he floated flop and then picked up a pair + some kind of straight draw on the turn and then decided to bluff it on the river. again really unlikely

re: checking the turn, are you doing this with the intention of raising or just to call?

given that there's some stack depth, i'd check just to call since i think you'd mostly be turning your hand into a bluff by raising and that there aren't quite enough draws in his range to justify doing it for protection. if you really think the dynamic is wild enough that he could get in deep vs. your turn c/r with worse (specifically AQ/AJ) then of course you could and probably should, but i just wouldn't guess that's the case

but there still are some draws and it'd suck to let him get there in a large pot with something weird he floated that turned a GSSD or whatever, which is partly why i favor betting even vs. this guy
