Does anyone call and fold the river UI?

I think 3betting and seeing a free showdown is hte best play here. If he caps the turn, folding river UI is pretty easy then.

I think calling turn and river > 3-betting.

That way we always get to showdown for the same price as the 3-bet, free showdown. We are also likely to get the chance to raise the river if we hit, which makes the 3-bet on the turn less useful. Also when we're behind and he caps we have put in a lot of bets on the turn with an equity disadvantage.

I don't semi-bluff-3bet over a check-raiser.
We just don't have the fold-equity that makes the semi-bluff worthwhile.

I call down.
