I think on this hand, the river call is really quite trivial. I think in the long run of EV, it won't matter much because Patrik seems to balance his hands so well (i have never played him just looking at hands others have shown me). I think my decision would come down to how I want him to perceive me.

I think with patrik, I would rather have him on the defensive. I would rather him making big call downs than making huge bluffs on the river. If that was the case, Id rather call and error on the side of being a calling station in his eyes rather than being able to be run over. Against him this may not make any difference at all, but if its this close, i would like to create an impression on him that i can make big calls and i get to see a line he took on a huge hand oop.
