i like the way you played it. you're likely up against an overpair and you're getting a nice price to hit a 5-outer that could take a bunch of chips off of him. river call is fine - he has AK 1/15 of the time...

When villain raised to 4.5xBB at 4 limpers from the blinds, I thought he had a big pair. Notice that the two early position limpers folded, maybe with that read. I figured I would call with the suited gapper anyway.

I don't know if I should have called the flop bet, but I felt I was priced in. I thought it was possible I ahead.

When villain bet 1/6 pot on the turn, I was pretty sure he had an overpair, thought he was ahead, and was hoping to get raised. I thought AQ/AK would check or make a real attempt to take the pot. I figured I had 9 outs and would get paid off if I hit. In case I was ahead, calling was good to.

As to why I called the river, if I knew what he had, I was getting 15-1 pot odds that I was wrong.

Villain showed QQ. You just have to understand how slow playing donks think.

All you who would have donked off a big part of your stack raising to figure out villain had an overpair, that's why I made the final table and you didn't. </arrogance>
