what does this river bet mean?
 

Villain was passive all the way down to the river, then making weird small bet. Does he want to induce bluff-raise with the nuts? Can I call here?

Looks like KQJx, maybe suited in spades since his flop bet looks like he wants to sweeten the pot. I probably call 1/3 of the time, and would almost never raise. Though, if I thought the person was staying a while, I'd probably call to see why he played the hand the way he did.

i call every single time without any read.. Mostly it looks like a block bet..

Call. You only needs to win this pot 15,38% of the time and you will see here often enough some 2 pair hands.

Can I call here?

the question is not call or fold, its raise or call. I lean towards raising.

Re: what does this river bet mean?
 

Raising is bad. Uh, I don't mean to be condescending here, but the answer here is 100% call and any other decision is bad -&gt; fairly bad. And it should be fairly obvious as well.

Don't raise.

You'll only get called by hands that crush you.

Re: what does this river bet mean?
 

raising here achieves nothing,, unless this guy is an absooolute fish and would call a raise with two pair... the river bet does look like a blocker bet,,, i think you see two pair here faar more then the 15% of the time you need to take down this pot..

Re: what does this river bet mean?
 

fold preflop, dont raise the flop after you call, and villian leads. now just call river.
