25NL nasty river spot
 

Hand is readless, just sat at the table and have never played with villan before. I c/r turn because this seems like a board that villan would float on with any sort of PP, and then lead small on the river to again get value out of 99-QQ, 8x type hands.

It's possible that villain hit a set. I don't see this as AK since I'd think he'd raise preflop, so I don't think the river is necessarily the problem unless he's doing this with AQ or AJ or something... which is ridiculously unlikely.

As played I would call.

Also, river bet is TINY, that's just asking to be raised.

Re: 25NL nasty river spot
 

He doesn't likely have a better kicker and there is no way I can get away from a FH here.

I might just c/c this river though as you aren't getting called by hands that beat you and you are repping the K from the flop onward.

If he flopped a boat, imo he played this very well.

Re: 25NL nasty river spot
 

I call here and expect to see AQ or some other Ax hand here quite often alot

Re: 25NL nasty river spot
 

is this really that big of a problem? turbo call.

Re: 25NL nasty river spot
 

I would call here but I would never raise. Nothing seems to "complete" on the river as I can see it. Villan could have hit the ace but we can still beat most hands.

Re: 25NL nasty river spot
 

isnt not shoving losing value? we only leave $7 behind when we call, and hes never folding any piece of the board... its small value but...

Re: 25NL nasty river spot
 

I really dont see how you have a problem not instapushing or snapcalling here

Re: 25NL nasty river spot
 

Since this is an unknown this is a call (i think; the thing is unknowns will easily do this with worse kickers, but against a good player ur almost always beat unless he might see ur riverbet as so weak that it's to tempting to raise.. This is a perfect flop to slowplay with a set, and the lead on the turn is a sweet line with a set ... Meh, don't know, u've showed strength the whole way and on the river he doesn't care.. The more I think abt it the more I think ur beat here, but as said above I wud have problems getting away from it against unknown villain...
