I only have about 25 hands on villian at this point. I've only been on table for about 3 orbits... He's hard to pinpoint where he is, but somewhere aroud 25-35 VPIP, in the 5-10 pfr.... af is about 1-1.5

I just called because the K hit on river.... I split w/ any Ace and lose to oh... let's see.... KJ, QJ, QQ, JJ, TT, KK, JT....

I want to add a hypothetical board here, for discussion.

Now... if the turn card was a blank... I think i should be raising the river and calling a 3-bet. A friend of mine (2+2er) says that calling in this situation is also the better play.

Anybody have thoughts?

Thanks,

I like it all. I see very little value in a river raise.

If you raise you are only going to be called by a hand that are beaten by or you split with.

Well played! I do not see any point on raising the river.
