I hate calling to fold the river.....

If you're going to call the turn, call the river. No reason to put him on an ace, and if you put him on 7 or an 8, as opposed to a draw, then you really don't have odds to call the turn with your ISD.

Whether to call the turn, I dunno.

Hey Grisgra,

When the ace comes, really the only hands that hero is still ahead of are draws that villain is still bluffing with. I guess you are saying that you think the chance of villain having such a draw is enough to justify a river call, is that right? Given his stats, on second thought, you may be right... but it seems close.

It's just that there was no preflop raise from the BB, and there's no obvious reason why he'd checkraise the flop with an ace, unless it was exactly A4. I don't put the BB on an ace here, so the fact that the ace fell means little to me -- if anything it makes me think he's bluffing a bit more, as a 8 or 7 might check to the preflop raiser here thinking he might now be behind -- but a broken flush draw will think it's a scare card and keep hammering.
