big river overbet from good player
 

villain is YouGotWorked, a good/great winning player.

we have been tangling a big throughout a few tables this session and ive been getting the best of it most of the time. its very possible he could be tilting or at least a little rattled. i have a LAG image and im pretty sure he thinks im a thinking player, too. he is 21/17 fwiw.

i need to call $871 and im getting 1.67-to-1. what do u make of this overbet?

Your hand is pretty much face up here, he knows you have AT, AJ maybe AQ but considering you said you have a LAG image he would probably expect you to 3bet AQ. So it really comes down to if he thinks your a station, and he's trying to get you to stack off with your AT, AJ, or does he think you like to fold on the river. If you thinks your a station, fold, if he thinks you like to fold, call.

But in a vacuum I would say this is a fold, as AQ looks like the low part of his range.

I call, his range is wide, he probably thinks you peel the flop/turn with 88 but fold most Ax type hands on the river.

Re: big river overbet from good player
 

He's definitely bluffing here some of the time, but probably not often enough to make calling good here. I agree with most of what was said in the above post regarding the relevance of your image here as well. One would think he would bet smaller with a better hand here since your hand is so face up, but against good tricky players who balance their ranges well you can't really use that logic IMO.

Re: big river overbet from good player
 

umm our hand definitely is not face up imo. could have anything from an ace to 88 to a set on this board.

i probably call the river just to see what he's doing this with considering i can't decide if i like calling or folding better.

really? i dont even think he would value overbet 76/96 type of hands here. i think he is prolly thinking i can only call him with sets and two pairs here. the problem with that is that three straights got there (54/85/T8) that he coulda played like this and perhaps hes just shoving them to get max value when i do have set/two pair.
