How often he's raising with weak semibluffs depends on the opponent, of course, but most players rarely semibluff in this spot too, given that they almost always have a hand/draw "too good" to semibluff with.
So it looks to me like against most opponents, you're very often up against KT or a set.
I don't think we can call rivers with unimproved AA, so we're calling strictly for our draw. I think we can call and lead A, Q and club rivers, along with most 9 & J rivers. Normally I'd want to x/r some nutty hands, but since I feel he has made hands rather than draws or bluffs, x/r on a club seems like too much missed value. I also think that when you hit a Q, he checks back his 2pr and set hands since almost every straight draw got there.
So call, lead those rivers, and x/f almost every other river, unless you get some kind of very strong read.
Normally, I'd be more worried about running into straights on some of these bluff outs, but because I don't think he's raising the turn with draws very often, I just don't think he's hitting them enough for us to be too concerned with it.
say we do hit a club, what sizing do you like to lead for value against a thinking reg?
as for F/T sizing, I'd definitely recommend betting bigger OTF. if he's got a draw, which there are plenty of, he is gonna call/raise. since we are aheadof his calling range( (not to say: have it crushed in plo terms) , we lose a lot of value by betting small here. If he is a little spewy and likes to spazzraise you on that board, why would you want to bet small and jam over his 13.25$ bluff when you could be betting 7.20$ and pick up his 22.95$ (we are obviously never folding) ?
turn is debatable but I'm prob betting somewhere in the 60-70% range there as well. now call and spike :)
Also, do people really not raise K8 here? 'Cas flop and turn bets of that size, I woulda thought K8 is a pretty easy value-raise... but maybe not.
