call that river or not?...the line of the BB looks pretty fishy to me here and i think it is likely that he play a weak queen like this ( have seen it on various occasions before by other fishes...)...but then a fish might call with a 6 preflop and i'd beat that fh...so call or not?

im not so sure i like your flop raise. im a big fan of raising weak donk bets but more so when ive missed the flop completely with a drawing hand. in this instance i think i like a call to manage the size of the pot/possibly gain more value out of the hand.

Turn raise is good.

River is tough. I really cant see a fish making that bet with less than a Q. i realize that a 6 is possible but given how strong you have played the hand i think villain checks river here with everything but the Q.

call if you think villian has a 6 here more than 1 in 5 or roughly 20%

ssdex do u always analyze ur calls by figuring how often someone has something compared to the size of the call to the pot? lol, generally I just go on instinct and read most of the time. Lately I've been considering the call:pot size and can't figure out what are good %'s to be calling down river bets with.

well he has to have a 6 1 in 5 for it to be profitable, lots of people will lead very small and cold call a 6 here, same with a Q, the lead on the river is strange..... im probably calling here and saying damn when he shows the Q, but I am pretty read specific too, but I always keep the odds in mind too, there are times when I call, even tho my read tells my im beat b/c the odds are so amazing, your read has to be really really really good here to fold I think.
