Hero ???

i'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for raising here but bb is a 16/5/20(he has a low Fcbet fwiw) so I felt a raise here was appropriate.

Should I vbet turn or just check and hope he bets his jacks, middle pairs and occasional bluffs?

If i do check, whats the plan if he bets? Check/call? C/R? if I do check/call a turn bet, what's my plan on the river?

Why do you think he folds a pair of jacks though? Would you fold in his place?

he seems like a non-believer so you must bet here when you actually have a hand.

I think complex was trying to imply you should bet to balance your range. If you suddenly check your good hands when you double barrell bluffs, a good villian is going to spot this.

Balancing ranges is pointless at these stakes

Yeah I wasn't really suggesting that :) just that he still calls worse.

it's not a bad idea at all to work at balancing your range its just at lower stakes people don't realize it but the higher you go it becomes more +EV

Two words: Maximum Exploitation. Balance is for probably 400nl+ .

You've got a ways to go before you need to worry about it.

Against anyone with a brain you've gotta bet here but it's not like you get 2 more streets out of most hands and villain is probably too dumb to realize your range for b/ch/b is probably stronger than b/b and will call lighter on the river. I like checking river he can bluff some and it widens his calling range up a ton on the river I think.
