If i figure him for a draw (which i do in this case) there is no use to betting or check raising. Do you value bet unless you are quite sure he's on a draw?

Blacson was a moron and allgoo was a short stack. I figured short stacks love to go all in so I checked to him. What about leading for half his stack, hope he pushes and blacson calls and then I can raise? Checking probably cost me the rest of allgoo stack as I don't know short stacks to fold at this point

I figured the pot was large enough to just go all in but he probably had missed draw. Maybe there was no way to get money from him and I would hate to check if he had 2 pair or something that would pay me off but not bet.

This guy is a calling station that plays every hand and doesn't know how to bet. I thought the best line after the turn was to just let him bet it for me to limit losses if he would suck out. However, this could leave a lot of value on the table. I'm happy I got back some of the money he sucked out on me earlier but maybe I could have gotten more.

Hand 1: No reason to value bet. Your play looks best.

Hand 2: Gotta bet I'm afraid. I find it hard to see you getting a big pot out of this one, so you can't let them show down for nothing with a flush out.

Hand 3: A much better river to check. given the flop, he's MUCH more likely to have a draw than a weak made hand. The way you played, unless he's dreadful, he's not calling a weedy 2 pair for that much (look at your betting). Either bet weakly to milk a two-pair or (perhaps better) check and hope he makes a desperation bluff. I like the latter.

Hand 4: I raise turn to force out the 3rd player.

I told MVP what I had before the river and he almost shit himself when he saw me check the river. Now he knows the power of the check.
