3/6 River top 2 facing unusual heat
 

Villan is Imperatorce who I have as 24/15 but my friend said he recognized him a a 2/4 nit who plays more like 17/10. Anyways, here's the hand:

Full Tilt Poker, $3/$6 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

CO: $588
BTN: $615.45
SB: $600
Hero (BB): $601.20
UTG: $437.25
MP: $767.50

Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB)
4 folds, SB calls $3, <font color="red">Hero raises to $18</font>, SB calls $12

Flop: ($36) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $26</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to $86</font>, Hero calls $60

Turn: ($208) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $150</font>, Hero calls $150

River: ($508) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $346 and is All-In</font>

I was afraid of two pair so I was playing cautious but now the A hits and he still shoves (he timed down a lot if that matters). Are we ahead most of the time here?

The fact that he just completed the SB and is now betting hard confuses me

Re: 3/6 River top 2 facing unusual heat
 

his limp calling range preflop doesn't have very many hands that check-raise this flop. i'd be shocked if he ever has a set here, and he might go nuts with KJ or A9 or something. who knows?

i can't find a fold. river only helps you vs his range. if it's QT, pay it.

Blind battle, instacall.

If you're even considering folding the river here you should have folded on the turn.

Re: 3/6 River top 2 facing unusual heat
 

2 pairs make up at least half his range here. He's soooo bad. Snappy Snap!

well the river is def a call, but I would have folded somewhere before that

Re: 3/6 River top 2 facing unusual heat
 

U just sucked out pal. Call and see a lower 2-pair 2/3 of the time and a set/str8 1/3 of the time and then just suck it up.

insta call

Yeah I'd fold turn as played.

I agree on both points. I would probably just pitch it on the flop to be honest vs someone you know is nitty. There arent many hands he can have that you really want to continue your hand against. If you didn't have your friend's read I can see you taking your line (with a river call).

this guy is a nit.... and QTo/J9o are in his range for sure

I fold turn vs him

as played I call river,

if we're folding virtually any non A/K turn when he bets, i'm not sure if even calling the flop is +EV. im pretty sure he's continuing on the turn at least 80% of the time (and a lot of that remaining chance he won't is comprised of when we hit an A or K on the turn)
