3 handed

Button - $65
SB - $ 80
BB (Me) - $90

Button is only player we are worried about on this hand. No specific read, just generally a bad player. Id see him overplay a few hands and pay a big price for some weak draws.

A icon_suit_club.gif 6 icon_suit_heart.gif in the BB

Button limps, SB limps, I check.... pot: $1.50

flop A icon_suit_heart.gif6 icon_suit_diamond.gif 4 icon_suit_club.gif

SB checks, I bet $1, Button raises to 3, SB folds
I raise to 9, Button calls, SB folds.... pot: $19.50

Turn 3 icon_suit_spade.gif

I bet $15, Button calls... pot $49.50

River 7 icon_suit_diamond.gif

I bet $25....

River is the only street i had trouble with, obviously a straight card hit, but is a value bet ok? I figured I had three options,
A.) bet half the pot
B.) push
C.) check, call anybet

Thanks in advance, good luck

standard bet here. if he raises.....well i just dont see him raising here. whats he gonna do that with? its quite unlikely he has a straight, what would he be doing with a 5, unless its A5 which it basically just isnt gonna be very often. i put him on an AT or something. let him call you down, you should win this pot most of the time. good bet.

Any consideration into check/calling the river?

Would this guy bluff/bet with more hands that he calls with?

I like a C/C on the river here. Gotta remember villian limped its hard to put him on a big A here especially 3 handed.

C/C against an aggressive player. Not saying loose, but someone who might pop in a value bet here with an ace. It seems unlikely though, that checking here will induce a bluff, as it went 3bets on the flop. In this case, I do what you did, and bet the river.

Ya... the reason why I bet was because I was afraid that a hand like A-J,- A-8, 6-4 or something like that would check right behind me, i wasnt too afraid of a 5 or a set based on previous street play
