no specific read on villian. after the turn raise i give him credit for some low hand. on the river i bet to get value from completely missplayed hands as all i can lose is a lil extra rake.

comments on all streets appriciated.

Hi Olrik - Fine on first three betting rounds.

You could three bet the river just in case Villain doesn't actually have a wheel and might fold a non-nut low. Probably not much chance of that, but you never know when an opponent is going to make a mistake. Making it three bets on the river gives Villain a chance to make a mistake - and you have nothing to lose. (But I'm not considering the rake. How much more is the rake if you re-raise on the river?)

dunno tbh but its prolly not much.

playing donk/call every street is so damn hard for a holdem player [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Every street was bet and raised so I'm pretty sure the rake has already been maxed out.

You have one option on the river and it isn't even close. Reraise. You can NOT lose, and he can. If you can give me a reason why you shouldn't, I'd love to hear it.

Don't ever underestimate the idiocy of a player. Plus, everyone misreads/misclicks at one time or another.
