A check raise I think loses alot of 🧲 value as well if you're ahead or will hurt alot more if you're behind and end up paying him off. 🧲 Remember, you only have top pair, no need to play a big pot here. I would again check the turn. 🧲 If he is pounding the pot than I would be reluctant to go crazy and just call. If his bet 🧲 is small enough compared to the pot, a check raise to take it down is something I would strongly consider. 🧲 If he checks behind on the turn, than you know you are good and hope for a safe river. If 🧲 you think he has something to call with, make a value bet, if not, check again and hope he bluffs 🧲 with nothing. But this is all a hypothetical situation.
We know nothing about the opponent other than he is aggressive. We 🧲 don't know if he is TAG or just reckless. We don't know the history between the two players. We don't 🧲 know bet sizing or reads. Is the guy steaming? Is he drunk? Did he announce this was his last round 🧲 before he had to go? An other important variable is our own table image. If I am the tightest guy 🧲 at the table, he is likely not triple barrel bluffing me but very well could if I myself am LAG. 🧲 There are too many variables in every single hand to have the right answer unless you are in the hand 🧲 yourself.
