I think inflating this pot with your good holding, then folding the river for ONE BET after your hand improved further is wrong IMO. Calling liberally for one bet on the river when its HU AND you improved to trips, is far less of a mistake then folding to a lesser hand for ONE BET and losing an entire pot.

i fail to see how i improved vs villain's hand range.

think of RELATIVE hand strengths, folks. not absolute strengths. sometimes bottom pair is the nuts. other times a set is worthless.

easy river call by default, i'm definitely seeing this guy's hand to confirm my read 100%

Hmmm...


Check call river. The pots too big, and you only need to beat him 12% of the time.

His range includes AA I think, I don't think he's raising the flop with AK, but AQ is probably in his range. I do think you are most probably up against TT or 88, and possibly even KK.

But if you figure AA,KK,TT,88 - you are good 25% of the time, so crying call for one on the river is okay.

Meh It's so borderline that the difference between calling and folding over the long-haul in this spot isn't worth discussing very far.

Read/Feal Play here, next time it might feel like a call, obviously you felt the easy fold here. Go ahead and play it that way then.
