What happened to "don't bluff a calling station"? I think I wanna go so far as to say I really dislike a 2nd barrel here. He's not folding a pair that he peeled the flop with, nor any draw (most of which beat us) and probably not all A highs either. Stacks aren't really deep enough to 3-barrel bluff and I have a sticky note on my monitor that says something like "Don't bluff for stacks against monkeys" anyway.

I don't think there's a pressing need to build the pot anymore when we have 170 behind in a 60$ pot already. If we hit and he leads the river we can shove easily. If he checks we can bet anything from pot to 2x pot since he loves to call and is much more likely to say "he could be bluffing" than to put us on a backdoor draw.

And though we have no showdown value, I'd much rather bluff at a scare card on the river (ie any J+, diamond) because at least he'll fold his missed 76, overs, and maybe some small pairs.

Though checking behind and folding to a 35$ bet on a missed river isn't pleasant, I think betting and having to check behind the river and watch him take it down with K4 is a disaster.

And finally we save a sizable bet when he does have a boat and we miss.

I don't think limping behind preflop is bad at all btw, though I probably prefer a raise.
