Looks like he free-card-capped the flop. That's advanced, lol. I also check the turn, and call down, but I expect him to have a flush draw a lot when he checks behind here.I bet/call the river as played.

His play really looks like a FD. He probably calls with a busted Ahi FD if we bet, but folds hands like KdJd, QdJd. However, if we check, he'll probably attempt a bluff with some of those hands. Therefore, I would prefer c/c this river.

Wow. I played this almost exact hand yesterday and I decided to c/c the river to give him a chance to bluff with a fd and he checked behind with QT. I still like a c/c though because he is normally gonna call our river bet with a pair hand, but when we check, we give him a chance to bluff, we dont get raised by a big hand that was just playing kooky and he will often value bet hands that will call a bet anyways.

Yeah, I like c/c now.

Villain's turn check certainly looks like a Flush Draw.I can't think of many other hands that would play this way.

That's a horrible play with QT.Checking behind on the river for a free showdown is greatly better than checking behind on the turn.Because of our read, I think the river must be a check-call.But I actually lead the turn.I put Villain on the following range after he caps the flop:AT, 33, 22, Flush Draw, 44-99.I am willing to spend 2 more bets to find out if I am ahead.Assumption: I do not think Villain will raise me again with a lesser hand.Thus I bet-call the turn.And check-fold the river unimproved.If my assumtion is right, I pay the same amount to find out if I am behind.And I usually make more money when I am ahead.Examples:- 33 & 22 (set) will raise my turn. I check-fold the river losing 2 bets. This is the same as calling down.- AT will call me down. I lose 2 bets. This is the same as calling down myself.- Flush draw will call my turn and fold the river. I gain 1 bet. This is better than calling down since Villain may not bluff on his own.- 44-99. These hands will usually call me down. I gain 2 bets. This is better than calling down myself since they will usually take a free showdown.--CM

Bet/calling the turn, only to c/f the river seems spewtastic when we really aren't on a draw.
