Default 50-100 Hand

6 handed. Decent-good villian opens after one fold. He is a winner, i have no idea how big or small, i haven't played with him all that much. I 3 bet from the SB with XX, he calls. The flop is

3h 9s 4c

I bet and he calls.

Turn is the 8c

I bet and he calls

River is the 7d

I bet and he raises. What is your minimum hand to call here? To three bet? Why?

1. Very dependant on what's been going on. Might call AJ here. Might fold T9.

2. I won't reraise here without the nuts.

Well to elaborate a little more here, he probably thinks i am a tough player, probably winner, but capable of spewing a little and taking unorthodox lines. Does than enable you to give a better range?

As far not re-raising without the nuts, you need to literally have a straight? It seems so unlikely/impossible for him to have?

Well if nothing crazy's been going on then I may fold some pairs here. He's unlikely to have a hand worse than ace high here (QJ/QT should be the only ones), and people generally don't think of bluffing with ace high or better. Obviously there's a feel element, but all I can really say is this is, for me, a fold-one, fold-all spot (he's not raising any medium strength hands for value), so I will occasionally fold a pair here.

As to reraising, why don't you think he can have JT/65s?? They both seem very likely to me, 16 combinations of the former and 4 of 65s. Only 3 combinations of 77 though.

Im not folding any pairs and Im not three betting much only because I do not think it gets called by opponents likely range (when we are ahead).

I'm just calling with a set here on the river because his hand looks more like JT and 65 or a bluff. You're losing value with 99 or 88 against a less likely 87 and 77 but that is such a small part of his range. All the other 2 pairs he can have would have most likely come to life on the flop or turn.

I'm definitely at a loss for what my min hand here is to call river since this really looks like he lucked into a straight or has jack. If I'm calling with AA here shouldn't I also be calling with A8??

This is the crux of the hand here. And i mean really, what is the difference between AA and 34 here? Would he really bluff like this. This spot is more ugly than most are making it i think, i feel calling tihs river with Ace high would be a ginormous error here.

I find that in spots like this it is extremely rare that they will bluff at all. Even a complete donk would know you have at least Ax and that a lot of times given the nice pot most people would call down with just A high.
I wouldn't call here unless I have a real strong hand. I have laid down overpairs in this spot in the past but this is of course player dependent.

Betting this river with A-high is a huge error IMO. Yes, even AK (for value) or AJ (to try to fold AQ/AK).
