BB is a TAG, tricky reg. We've stacked each other a few times, though I can't remember a recent case.

I have top set on a very wet board, and I get raised. I'm not sure if I should 3-bet here -- in general, I don't 3-bet flops almost ever because I have no idea how to balance it.

I was planning to check-raise shove on this safe-ish turn. Unfortunately BB just checked back for the free card. I don't think it's a good idea to have a donking range here. I just check all my hands.

The river completes a lot of draws. I'm in a dilemma. I have no clubs, and my hand doesn't make a good bluff-catcher. So I don't like to check-call. I could just check/fold, which would be fine -- but this hand is so high up in my range that it seems somewhat nitty.
So I take a bet/fold line, trying to get called by two pairs. Maybe this is also a "blocker" bet? I have no idea if this is a good idea -- in general I struggle to understand the concept of a blocker bet. It often just looks like burning money to me.
Villain raises my river bet and I fold, as intended. Maybe I just donated 11BB on the river -- or maybe it was a good play. Dunno.
