villain is a winning reg 60/23/29, 2.2 ag, filtered HU

"up $2.7k after just 850 games, avg stk $36
completing and usually complete/folding
complete 67 and check down Q78A3 to induce with bottom pair
complete/call suited connector then check down AQx and fold to minbet on River
20bb, bubble, Min raise ATo and check down versus loose player: 95Js
completing and often check/folding the flop -- CAREFUL if not
complete 65s and NO STAB with trips on J55 but CHECK Raise instead 2X and shove over Min three bet;
HU, minR KQo"

Given our reads/board I check/behind on turn. I'm hoping to induce on riv and not get shoved on by Tx. Do you prefer betting? If so, bet/call or bet/f?

When river is checked to me, I put villain on Jx or A high, maybe sm pair. I'm betting quite big to induce calls since I don't think he pays off 1/2p vbet.

Does it make sense for him to play nuts like this, that we should lay down riv, like I did?

thx

looks fine, but i dont like your river size. I think he hero folds to this size too often. half pot is better imo.

villain used his image against you here. just note it and take more merged lines vs him

Yeah, seems like I induced him to bluff by betting an amount that looked like it didn't want to be called. ?(

By merged lines, I guess you mean not polarising betsize on riv? Or something else - thx

i think he just went for it on the river because your cbet/check back/big river value is repping a value hand that you didnt bet on the turn. one would think if you had a FH or trips you would continue to barrel that turn because all his SD value is never folding. i think he would still go for the bluff if you bet half pot. the reason is the turn check, not the sizing.

merge more value hands into your 3 streets of value range and merge your sizings more effectively. this would be a 3 streets of value hand in a merged range. or you can include Tx in your check back range on the turn (but i think that loses a TON of value itlr).

Wow, high level thinking, sir. Shame I don't get to implement this stuff much. One guy on the Stars $30s has an avatar saying "Triple Range Merging"; I was thinking: if you knew what that meant, you'd not be grinding the $30s...

lol. i only figured out what it meant after i did it live (without realising that was what it was called) and the good young reg next to me told me.
