Default Re: Am i a donkey to even consider calling the river????????

For me this is read dependent. If I think he's restealing then I call PF and then raise the flop to see if he can beat my TPTK. If it's out of the blue then I probably fold given his tight PFR range. 18/12/5 is pretty tight but doesn't preclude resteals and AF=5 is agro which makes his strong betting in this hand potentially less of a worry. If he was restealing then he had no choice but to CB. If he's that agro / caught a draw then the 2nd barrel is likely. Once he's got to the river, is he really going to just check with a bluff?

I realise that raising the flop probably only folds worse hands and that "betting for info" is frowned upon but if that info reduces RIO losses then it is a price worth paying. I think calling two large bets like this is much more expensive.
