This hand illustrates the importance of putting your opponent on a range, and value betting when you are ahead of that range. And note the bet sizing here, $60 into a $120 pot. If he raises that river, even a min raise, its an easy fold. $60 into $120 is small enough for this bad player to call with worse hands.

And this hand may just be spew, but its still cool. Every single fish on the planet will bet a 323 flop with nothing trying to take it down. And the only hand that has even a legitimate reason to min-3 bet the flop is a hand containing a 3, which he is definitely never ever betting the flop with to begin with. Calling the flop lets him know that I have an overpair (hopefully he can read that) and when he checks the turn he confirms to me that he did have nothing, and the pot is mine for the taking.
