Very good question. My intention was definitely to bluff the river if the turn checked through. This is primarily a float, meaning that I am trying to represent that I have something by calling rather than raising. Paradoxically, a call often appears stronger than a raise, since a raise could also be interpreted as a bluff. I don’t think expect him to fold QQ or KK, at least not on non-club rivers, but I don’t think he’d usually play those this way. I do believe I can get him off K- and A-high and possible small pairs or a weak pair that he caught on the turn or river.

Would you be looking to overbet, bet full pot, 3/4 pot? or would you just check assuming he’s looking to pick you off, which i doubt since your flop line is so strong.
