Hi,

I get in this spot a lot.

Do you agree that this is a x/r spot and not a pot spot?

I find it hard to control myself to bet on the river but I think I should be checking because:

• villain will rarely ever be able to raise my bet with worse for value
• he will often bet a flush when checked to
• he will be priced to call or talk himself into calling with some of his strong hands
• also keeping in bluffs on backdoor draws that would fold to our river bet

I know that often the check raise will just get a fold, but I think overall it makes more money. I also think that stackwise he is less likely to fold once he puts in his first river bet. Thoughts?

Thanks
