I had a sxtxd&kd% moment on the river, but then thought it through a bit. Checked PTR he's a decent winner, he snap called flop and turn. Any flushdraw on this board is worthy of at least a few seconds thought, as every flushdraw is a huge hand being it a combo/GS thing or the NFD. Small flushdraws don't always even get shoved, so assuming he knows anything about me he'll know I'm capable of value betting fairly thinly, and so vI looked him up on that basis.

Villain is a very big winning HU player, 8BB over 100k hands or something. I used to get myself in such a mess on turns here with the PSR being the way it is. Like should I crai repping nothing, bet and be forced to bet fold etc? Looking at it from his POV though, he's the one screwed by the PSR here with almost any hand when I bet this amount. AA you have to throw in a decent overlay when the times you're called you're crushed, and draws can perceive zero FE. Throw in a standard read that everything really decent always get fastplayed on these boards and I think he's folding a ton.

Call flop/ lead turn, or call raise/ lead turn is something that needs thinking about. In a standard world, the reason we always check one street after calling another OOP is that: if he's bluffing then he continues to bluff, if we're behind his value, then we minimise our losses. On a complete blank though, your opponent doesn't continue bluffing enough to make this play worthwhile. With this PSR, minimising losses also goes out the window as we're always going broke with top pair. What we're left with then, is preventing him exercising pot control on the turn with GSs and OESDs, and trying to get the money in in a manner where our opponent can be spazzing out. My thinking could be off here, but I think this also translates to single raised pots too a lot. I'm not sure how, but instinctively I feel CC flop, lead turn on blank has to be good.

Hmm ........... one for crEV I reckon.
