NL 25 - Top pair, weak kicker. HU. Call on river?

[barthen]

Hi all.
I`ve played poker for a year, going pretty much break even. Now I discovered P2P, and this forum has improved my skills dramaticly.
I`ve changed from FR to 6-MAX, and got more aggressive. Now poker is fun. Thanks a lot to all of you! But there is still a lot to learn. Here is my first post:

Villain: 23/12/1,8 (60 hands). Calling too much on all streets I guess.

Seems like an easy call with that bet amount.

Call. Villain could easily have a jack or pocket pair, and to them it appears you c-betted and gave up on the turn. Raising will get worse hands to fold and better hands to call/raise.

easy call behind. He has a flush sometimes i think but other than that you're probably good. Definitely not a raise.
