    I'm torn on whether or not to bet-out here or check/call his foreseeable bluff...

    bet out as played - I don't think he can call a check raise and he should have more calling hands than betting hands. Also I don't think he'll bluff much.

    I would bet flop or turn

    if you're betting you'd probably have to fold to a raise. I don't mind a check here if you think he has the FD and is going to lead the river.

    I thought about betting the stupid looking flop, AFTER I insta-checked my set-or-forget hand.

    For the turn, yes, I should've bet out there. In retrospect, I'm not sure why I didn't.

    As played, I don't like to bet the river, because I'm OOP and can't really call a raise...

    This was my thought on the river. So I checked.

    Villian Bets 450 into the 360 pot.
    I have about 1600 behind

    Have to call right? This seems like it could be both a bluff or a value bet against a sherriff, which is what I look like at this point...

    I guess we disagree in that I'm paying off a flush all day here, he can have so many hands that feel best to him, he was the BB so all two pair combos and lower sets are possible.

    obv call river

    If villain holds 66 or 33 he plays it just like that as well. He was also in the BB, so we can't rule out any raggy 2 pairs that are betting hard for value either.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
