Ok so I haven't played in like a week and have been ridiculously busy, so I'm pretty tired and am intentionally trying to pay attention to think so I may be overthinking. I got a prop bet going though which started today hence the playing.

HAND #1

This guy is a regular, 17/13, who I have a note on "Gets ridiculously spewy against me in blind wars." I know he plays back at me as he has been caught, but it's always been bvb or button vs sb or whatever.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Converter Tool from (Format: Bet The Pot)

BB ($75.15)
Hero ($53.95)
MP ($50.75)
Button ($108.15)
SB ($111.70)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with , .
Hero raises to $1.75, MP calls $1.75, 3 folds.

Flop: ($4.25) , , (2 players)
Hero bets $3.25, MP calls $3.25.

Turn: ($10.75) (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $8, Hero calls $8.

River: ($26.75) (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $16, Hero?.

So I checked the turn thinking he will often fold middle pairs to my double barrel and there's a good chance he's floating.

Thoughts on turn check? Should I call the river?

Call and cry

I think the reason to check the turn is to induce spewing. I like the way you played it against this particular villain...I call the river here.
