Decided to blockbet here since the flush draw completed. So my plan here was to Bet/Fold.

I would bet it bigger on the flop and turn. You can get more value there from draws, weaker Qx and Tx given how fishy the player is.

On the river - do you expect him to bluff you here too often? I might just check/fold it in this spot cause I doubt you're getting many better hands to fold with a bet of that size (he still calls with all his better Qx), and I also doubt many worse hands will call when the flush completes.

Hello maheepsangari,

Bet bigger on the flop & turn to protect your hand. But otherwise well, you even turned your hand into bluff on the river. I would just Check/Fold there as long the draw also completes.

Best Regards.

I have noticed that usually when a draw completes on the river you recommend a check/fold. If I check/fold everytime a draw completes won't the opponent start exploiting that and bluff me off everytime I play check/fold?

Well, worse hands would just Check behind there and at the same time you ain't getting called from worse. ;) Plus I rarely expect those opponents on those stakes exploit you.
