TPGK river decision

[Profish2285]

Villain is very passive pf, but not so much postflop. Open limping AA otb. I did see him check top set on all 3 streets a different hand. He also likes to float but usually in very bad spots to do so and is capable of semi bluffing, especially if checked to twice. Well anyway, onto the hand.

u should have c-bet the flop to help you narrow hands. i think with no info thought we had to bet this turn. althought i think were behind

Im calling this. He limp called this could be so many

hands, but I would feel like hes going to show Ax Axs here

quite a bit. Especially if he likes to float. You have

top two pair also with most likely the best kicker.

And yes cbet the flop.

He might think the Jack plays for a split.

That MR on the turn is so weak. I'm not even sure he fires again on the river and might bet it myself.

As played, I call.

Raise harder preflop: you are out of position.
Cbet flop, call river.

To everyone saying c-bet the flop, why? Against two opponents it isnt likely that someone hit something here? He ended up having a straight flush draw on the flop and hit the straight on the turn. I paid off his river bet because I just could not figure out a hand to put him on as he was caught semi bluffing before.
