3/6 - I want to call with 3rd pair (smallish pot)
 

Villain is kitty97 who is very aggro. He's 3bet me a few times over the past few minutes and I have folded every time.

Is this a bluff often enough to call?

I guess our recent history has me a bit confused as to what his range is here. He's been 3betting me quite a bit, so I figured he would here with pairs 99+, AK and the like. So idk if this maybe a small PP turned into a bluff or a turned draw that's firing 2 or if I just want to be a callbox for no good reason.

You can for sure call here

Fold. Just because he's 3 bet you alot doesn't mean this is a bluff often enough to call with bottom pair.

Given the board texture on the the turn, he could certainly be firing a missed draw on the river enough to make this call. The problem is that a lot of players won't cold call KQ/JT/T9 type hands from the SB. If he's the type to 3 bet those from the blinds this is closer to a fold since it's unlikely he had a drawing hand on the turn. He probably has a mid PP a lot, and this board nails his range in that case, and all you would really beat is a bluff from 22-55, and I doubt he's turning a low pair into a bluff here often enough to call. Basically all I'm getting at is you should only be calling this if his cold call range from the SB is fairly wide here.

I know kitty very well and this looks like his valueline

The river just doesn't seem like a good card to fire a 2nd time as a bluff. Although you checked back the flop on that board pretty much announcing you don't have much of a hand he still has to expect if you called the turn you'll probably be calling that river. The only hand he can profitably get you to fold is spades. I think often times he has a hand like KJ, KTs, JTs or 45s. I don't think he's bluffing here more than 1/3 of the time.

it looks like a spot to call light, but you kinda gotta be there playing to feel it out. I'm guessing he had like KT. I think you get taken to value town like 3/4 of the time.

Re: 3/6 - I want to call with 3rd pair (smallish pot)
 

do people advocating a fold here also fold QQ?

Re: 3/6 - I want to call with 3rd pair (smallish pot)
 

looks like a fold...most people are smart enough to know most people bet the flop with draws/air most times. i don't think he expects you to fold the and river is a pretty bad card to bluff.

QQ question is interesting. i guess if i want to fold this i'd fold it since i can't think of much that he wouldn't reraise that doesn't beat QQ.

mm, kitty is really retarded so i want to call, but i guess our hand has about the same value as A high here. i would definitely look this up sometimes but i think folding is better as a default on this particular board.
