PS 4/180 - Bet river for value?
 

Early in 4/180 and no reads on villain.

Comments on all streets welcome.

Is pre flop call very bad?
I don't usually call a raise pre flop with Axs but did this time because of the caller and my position.

On turn obv calling is fine because of immediate odds, do you raise even though he's shown interest on the flop?

Main reason for posting is river decision - is a raise standard?
If so how much?
And do you fold to a raise?

the tiny river bet is a either a blocking bet scared of the flush or a made flush. id weight it towards the flush b/c of the weak turn bet which he shows he wanted to get to river cheaply. now he got there he wants to bet weakly to entice a raise. You have showdown value so just call. oh and its a 4/180 so there will be plenty of opportunity to get value later

i raise out of spite

Re: PS 4/180 - Bet river for value?
 

definite call. this looks an awful lot like a turned straight, and all worse hands SHOULD fold to your river raise here... = no value in raising.

i'm missing UTG on the flop?

calling preflop isn't bad that deep, but you have to be careful.

If it is checked to you on the flop with TPTK (though a very low TP) i'd bet more about 200 against 3 opponents.

Call on turn is fine. I'd just call the river. The only hands that might call a raise are AK, AQ - both very unlikely from the action so far or weaker two pairs A3, A7 unlikely.
