I don't know what to make of villain calling a PSB on the turn here, other than I'm either way behind, or he's got top pair with a weaker kicker that he can't get away from.

Was it horrible to just call the river here, I can't imagine folding in this situation. Should I have pushed for value just in case I was ahead?

Thoughts on all streets appreciated.

i'd ignore that small bet and make the bet that I would have on the river if he checked - probably 1/2 pot.

At anything above 1c/2c I would probably just call, but here the villain could have practically anything. Reads would be a big help, but I would push at least half the time.

Honestly AK is a hand I really have trouble with... so this is tough. So with that said I would probably just call, you have commited the majority of your stack under the impression that you have the best hand... there really is no reason to think otherwise at this level... but who knows because the villain could be holding any 2. It's not like anyone is going to be able to magically put his donk bet on some sort of hand because the play is so poor. 20 cents into a $3 pot, what kind of moron does that ya know?

You could shove, you could call... I wouldn't worry too much either way.

looks like a blocking bet so I raise here for value. If villain could beat AK on this board, he'd have to have 2pair+ and that sir, is the nuts at 2c. Calling is fine imo, though folding would be disastorous.
