I don't like a 3bet in either. Just call.

Neither of these villains appear to be total nutjobs and that's what it would take for me to 3bet either of these.

In #1 I think you're ahead > 66% of the time here pretty easily vs. a lot of 2pr hands, and should be able to fold to a cap (though it's close and the only reason I might consider calling is if I didn't feel confident in folding to a cap).

Many people may try to justify a river 3bet becuz hes unlikely to have some of the hands I mentioned based on the logic of the hand, but this guy is not a logical player so throw all ideas about reading hands out the window.

This is a cop out. Just because a player isn't using 2+2 thought processes doesn't mean we can't make handreading conclusions about his actions. Even very bad players usually have a rationale for the plays they make.

What I said is not a cop out. When this guy check/raises the river he can have a flush, he can have a straight and he can have a set. Trust me.

Of course he can have a straight or a flush or a set. He can also have two pair.

Enter handreading.

1 is a 3 bet, 2 is a call.

in 1, it is unlikely he has a flush because he would have popped the turn. It is most likely the A improved him to a worse 2 pr. A straight is extremely unlikely because he probably would have folded 32 pf.

When someone doesnt play logically, handreading techniques break down. Trying to put a bad player on a hand when the hero has no line on his play is next to impossible. The hero needs to be greater than a 2-1 favorite to make this 3bet profitable since I presume hes calling a cap. Theres no realiable way to come to the conclusion that the hero is a 2-1 favorite, so calling the river raise is the prudent course.

I think this is exactly how a 59/7 would play 32 from the SB, and postflop lines up perfectly as well. If it's A4 / A5 / 23 / rare flush / rare bluff then 3betting doesn't look so hot.
