5/10 - AK 170BB Deep - Thin riv value bet
 

Villain is 32/12/2 fish. I haven't seen him get too out of line over ~400 hands. This is the 2nd time I have seen him 3bet. Hero is running at 22/18, and I know he doesn't respect my cbets, FWIW.

As for preflop, I would often 4bet, but this guy is not crazy preflop, and I doubt he knows what a squeeze is. I am 99.9% sure this guy never C/Rs me on the river as a bluff, so I am folding if he shoves.

I don't think this is that thin since you've played the hand so passively (though correct, so far). I'd bet like $650 on the river, if he's a fish i doubt he's folding QQ.

Make it 700 instead.

Re: 5/10 - AK 170BB Deep - Thin riv value bet
 

If he's never out of line or squeezing then I'd just fold to him pf

but given how the hand played out I don't see how a bet is thin at all, although it illustrates why AK pretty much sucks for implied odds

Re: 5/10 - AK 170BB Deep - Thin riv value bet
 

TBH, I don't think he calls a larger bet with QQ here. Villain is a weird animal, and I don't know if I have ever seen him call a largish river bet.

I may not have a good enough read on the river to make that judgement, though.

Absolutely.

I like the way you played this OP, including the river bet sizing.

I'm not so sure, if villain is any good, your hand is face up. If you can get him to call with QQ congrats...

I agree that my hand is face up. Villain is definitely not good, but my line is VERY transparent, and that is why I think the bet is thin. Do you bet larger or check behind here?
