Hey guys, here’s a pretty interesting hand I played recently with a vulnerable bluffcatcher I’d like to get you guy’s thoughts on.  

I have the hand saved on boomplayer which is better than reading text - http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/1550771_50255BB850.  Effective stack sizes are just under 30bbs and I minraise 5 10 hearts on the button vs a pretty loose player.  Flop is 5 8 8 and I get checkraised to 2.4x.

My reads on the player is he can bluff these types of paired boards so I think folding is the worst of the 3 options unless he was a nit.  If I am ahead and he is bluffing like I think he is on this board from my notes I want to keep his bluffs in the hand.  If I am crushed which is possible I can potentially lose the min by just flatting and possibly folding on a later street.  I have played other hands vs viliian in which he has slowplayed big hands so my read on the flop is that I am ahead.  

Turn is 10 and goes bet call which I think is pretty standard.  

River is an overcard and he tank shoves.  My gut instinct was that I was rivered but because of the way I played my hand I felt that I had to call based on past experience and the fact that he has 3 barreled me before when I used the way ahead way behind concept with top pair.  

I’m interested on you guy’s thoughts, with a vulnerable bluffcatcher on the flop is anyone re-raising for information and taking down equity as the board can’t really get better for my hand and the board is gona get worse and potentially put me in a difficult decision like I faced on the river if he shoves or are you guys just using the way ahead way behind concept with the read that he is capable of bluffing on paired boards and check calling to the river then making a decision when he shoves based on the runout.   I think both strategy’s have their advantages and disadvantages, reraising for information with a vulnberable bluffcatcher is a way I can never get stacked and pick up some equity safer, but at the same time I fold out his bluffs if he is too 3 barrel air all 3 streets which I know he is capable of.  

Another point to note here is that I have had a 8 here I would of stacked him using the way ahead way behind concept as he still shoved the river with potential trips on board which I would of played exactly the same way.  Without being results orientated which strategy do you think is +ev here with a vulnerable bluffcatcher vs a player capable of bluffing here and is going to the majority of the time put us in a tough spot on the river.
