I could have 3-bet here and often would but I was focusing on mixing things up and trying some slightly different lines last night and decided to just call and see a flop. The thining was that if he has a big hand QQ+ then he will 4 bet and I probably fold. Villan is a regular at NL10.
Flop: ($0.85) J

Hero checks, UTG+2 checks
Lovely flop. I really want him to feel he still has control so I check to the pf raiser and he checks behind. I was a little suprised as I expected a c-bet which he does 85% of the time.
Turn: ($0.85) 2
(2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+2 bets $0.70, Hero calls $0.70
Again I like the blank on the turn and check to tell him I am not interested in this hand any more. He bets and I decide to flat call as I am not worried about draws here. I could have check raised but that would show too much strength to him as I don't often c-r.
River: ($2.25) 8

Hero bets $1.70, UTG+2 raises to $5,
Hero calls $3.30
At the same time I have a couple of decsions pending on other tables and am now wishing I had bet the turn. I bet out to start to get some cash in the pot and go to attend to other tables while he thinks and then raises. The table pops up and I just manage to hit the call button before I time out. I should have raised to put him all-in but hands on other tables took the time from me. One of the problems with multi-tabling I guess.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
