...but decided to call

Sat down recently. I've been raising pretty often, so villain probably views me as semi loose preflop.

Reraise pf. I might look him up on river but it really seems that you only beat JJ, AQ and AJ here. I don't mind either way but IMO folding would be better. It looks like a valuebet to me.

yeah, i reraise preflop 99% of the time

I just decided to call here for whatever reason

Id say he has either QQ, AK or AQ here, leaning towards QQ. Still, the question is can you beat him more than 1 out of 4?

Seems like a pretty break-even call here, no obvious preference for calling or folding.

Btw: thats probably a reason for me to fold, I dont like high variance zero EV plays.

I reraise PF and make it $15. As played, you probably have the odds to call, but I think you lost to QQ or AK tbh. The valuebet on the river would be hard to fold.
