Villain has a wide pre-flop raising range so who knows what he has but most likely at least a couple of low cards. I figured it's likely he whiffed the flop so I lead out with the semi-bluff hoping to take it down right there (I suppose check-raising is fine too).
On the turn, I pickup enough outs to be priced into at least a check/call. The question is whether I have enough fold equity by leading again to justify the risk of being raised all-in on the turn and having to commit my stack as a dog. Since I figured him for something low with probably something high (why else would he call the flop?), my fold equity probably isn't there. I check/call. Should I have considered 1/2 pot blocking bet?
Well my low and flush draws missed and I shove. I'm still not sure if my river bet is a bluff or for value. LOL probably both reasons are stupid. As a bluff, is he ever folding a better hand? For value, is he ever calling with anything that I beat? Check/folding seems too weak getting nearly 4:1. So is it check/call w/ top pair?
