    Default whale in da house, 2nd pair, 330bb etc

    villain 100% vpip 25 hands, low-ish fold to cbet, not much aggro, river easy?
    fwiw - i hate flop sizing. I was trying to inspire a check-raise cos i'd seen him do it before (* no showdown then though) and it was probably a terrible idea

    fold to the 100bb bet on river, he'll have a 4 pretty often imo.

    Not sure I'd bet this hand on the flop, though I guess he'll call with flush draws and worse high cards. Do hate to face a check/raise with this hand though.

    I like going slightly bigger on the turn, fold river.

    I think river is easy fold without a specific read that villian overbet bluffs his air/whiffed draws.

    Fold river, it's either bad, close or slightly good. Any of these are not a reason to call when we have such a good position and losing 100bb now could cost us a chance to stack him in the near future.If it was slightly good and we had a terrible position v him and a bunch of other regs with 100bb stacks it would be w/e OR if we think he won't hang around long.

    People will probably call this advice nitty "Omg you can't throw away small edges etc" but I think this is a spot where we can give up a small edge for huge huge future +eV spots where we'll want an extra 100bb in our stack.

    edit: Inducing a c/r seems silly. If you were cbetting for value I would understand as this is a super easy vbet v a lot of guys with super high vpip.

    why do you want to induce a C/R on the flop? i'm confused. as played i think folding river is probably best given he can have a heap of 4x and our small read on him (not aggro) suggets he is less likely to be bluffing.
