    Default Unimproved 4-4 River Call

    This guy has been playing very aggressively and has been in alot of pots with trash hands (ex. calling a 4bb raise with J4o). I called on the flop here to keep him honest and to see how he acted on the turn. After his turn bet, I was pretty sure he was messing around.

    Anything wrong with this? Should I raise in any key spots?

    You're saying he's calling with bad hands but is he playing them aggressive? Ex. betting out totally empty, etc.?

    Downswinging holla!
    If he called a raise with J4o then he could have literally any piece of that flop, from 45, to 83o, to 23o. This hand is entirely read dependant.

    Raise flop. Even if he has garbage, you are not ahead by much, and if he does hit one of his outs, chances are you won't see it coming. This is a great flop for you, but you really need to protect your hand.

    Probably raise flop and take a free card on the turn if called.
