title and subtitle say it all. about my 20th hand at the table, so i don't have a lot of reads. can already tell villain is aggro and goot, though. i actually spent my whole time trying to think about whether i should VB this one on the end.

If you bet and he raises you know that you are beat based on his re-pop after the 2nd draw,

It loks like a C/C situation to me.

I think, based on the jamming after the second draw, that I just check/call on the end.

Love the guy who 3bet the first round then drew 3 and folded.

Thanks to him and the jamming after the second draw I think the pot is large enough to just get to showdown cheaply and hope he's on a 8-7.

that would be precisely the reason to bet/fold instead of c/c. the reason to c/c would be if he has it in his bag to raise with a worse hand or to fold a worse hand that might bet in position.

Good point but either way it's can be only one more bet to find out what is in his bag.

right, but this is more about making sure that i'm maximizing value against the guy longter, and not paying extra bets when i'm beat or folding when i'm ahead. it's never "just one more bet"--there's always a better and worse way to go about getting there, imo.


honestly, still not sure about this one, lol.

i dont think you should have capped the second draw. He check/raised the first draw like he had something to show for it...like a draw to a 7. I doubt he cought an 8 with 2347 and capped the second draw so i think c/c river is good.
