I'm confused and have top pair, so I call

[aislephive]

Villain is "SevenSuited", 25/19 tag over 5k hands. Seems solid, we don't have any noteworthy history and he should view me as a solid aggro 21/18 tag. SB is a very loose donk, fwiw.

How does the river call look? I just can't see what he can really have here besides a bluff, maybe TJcc or a slowplayed boat, but I dunno. Thoughts?

Seems a fairly unlikely place for a decent player to be bluffing. I'd fold pretty quickly.

Looks a lot like 88/99 to me.

Looks very much like a slowplayed boat. Im not a huge fan of the riverbet either just because its a 3 way pot and theres not much at all that youll get looked up by that you beat (rarely 9x)

[stackingboxes]

lol ppl almost never bluff in situations like this. for me at least.

I dont like the cbet...and I agree with the others that you are rarely ahead.

Well I thought the fish could perhaps call me with worse, although I agree that I can't expect the tag to. I assume you would go for a c/c? I guess I figured that checking the river was too weak. If I was first to act I think that would be a better option. But after the fish checks the tag is the only one behind me and I don't expect him to have a hand to bluff with here.

Shrug, I guess whether or not to bet the river or check is pretty interesting. Any other thoughts?

Poorly played if it's 88/99. His hand doesn't make sense but then again regular tags can pull the wierdiest lines.

[AAismyfriend]

I'd probably fold but I actually kinda like his line as a bluff, although it apparently wouldn't work against you. FWIW, I don't think he's checking 99 on the turn with the fish in the hand, so this is 88 or a bluff with a slim possibility of JTc or something.
