Defence against the check-raise semi bluff?

[cow164]

I'm playing in a low stakes cash game deep stacked vs a knollegable but loose agressive player.
When he's out of position my opponent will always check raise me the size of the pot after the turn card if he has either a premium draw or the nuts.
The problem is he always bets the same amount each time so its very hard to get a read on him.
I dont want to check as i'll be giving him a free card to draw to but whenever I have checked he will bluff the river hard if a card hits that could have made a drawing hand-regardless of what he holds.
If i bet i'm being raised and yet still utterly unsure where i am in the hand.
Moving in on him is futile as he'll only call with the nuts, i checked and i still have a significant negative equity from this play.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Against this type of player,i would chk raise him instead of being the aggressor,lets say u hit a top pair at flop and tats a flush possibilty,do a chk raise on him,even if a scare card appears at turn,i would do a chk and min raise wadeva he raise at turn,if he chk at turn,i would chk too,make him do all the raise,unless he goes all in at river,i would call him if he raise at e river to make sure he is honest

if youre having real trouble adapting to an aggro player the best advice would be simply avoiding them untill your'e post-flop skills improve dont sit at there tables, or avoid playing big pots with them unless you have a big hand. Dont take it personally theres plenty of bad players to exploit in low stakes games.
Or if you dont know wether hes on a draw or made hand simply check behind on the turn if youre hand cant stand a raise, whats the bigger mistake? comitting more money to a pot just to fold or giving a free card that may not even help him? you can call a bet or make a value bet on the river without the threat of another betting round.

I really like this website and I think it makes a great companion to the Professor's website. While this link won't answer your question specifically, it does give you general tips on playing against the Loose-Aggressive player.

One of the tips given is that you shouldn't try to bluff a Loose-Aggressive player.
