weird... i duno how much that read from earlier helps here other than he didnt cap it preflop so he may not be that aggro overall.

this certainly is a weird line for him if hes got u beat, i think its a chop or hes got a missed fd or QJ too often for ur river raise to be +EV. I just dont see him taking this line with an overpair or 44 often enough ( or bet calling A hi) to put myself in the position to hate myself for raise calling.

QJ or missed FD - WTF? I think this is an easy raise. He plays really bad regardless.

No way, just call the river. He has a ten, for sure. I end up doing stupid slowplay stuff like this sometimes. When i'm in that crappy mode, this is how I play it.

Actually, I think it's decent, if he has a ten. He probably doesn't think you'd call a cap on the turn, but might call a river bet with something like JJ+. He certainly can't put you on an eight. Would someone with an overpair really play like this? I guess he would, if he thinks you have a worse overpair. I still think he has a ten, but I guess that only leaves AT. Maybe this guy wouldn't three bet that out of position pre-flop. Eh, maybe it's a raise. Okay, end of Joyceian rant.

if you raise the river, what do you do if he 3-bets? I certainly wouldn't like folding a 16.5 BB pot.

Also you might want to post the hand you played with AQ on a Kxx flop. Sounds like you bet all three streets UI and he called you down with JJ.

I am with Gehrig and Downrange.

Jam the flop and dont worry about the T. He has overpairs a lot more often than Tx so raise the river.
