You are really beating nothing unless you have a read on him being loose.

Why would you recommend he fold?

Only a call makes sense to me here. There are not many weaker hands that I can think of that would call a shove. You shove, he calls and shows you J7, Q5 or something similar.

Anyway, I guess ham laid it out already.

why is this a post? call and move to the next hand... Did you just figured out the c-bet flop/check turn to induce bluff line? Not following?

I like the turn check against a lot players. Getting c/red here sucks because people are bad enough to do it with hands that you're actually beating as well as sets/weird 2 pair etc. If he was a calling station I don't mind a bet on the turn.

The river seems like a no-brainer call to me, you never get called by worse if you shove and you've underrepped your hand so he could be value betting worse.

bet more on flop..shove turn...as played just call...your hand is underrepped and he may be pushing you around...500 bet into a 1300 pot on flop is horrible unless...unless you think he may bluff raise a weak bet...hate the turn check...bet around the pot and river play becomes easier

You seem pretty deep and you're probably above average by a little bit here.

If you're playing to win, I think a reraise to 3600 would be appropiate. I'm lazy and didn't do the math, but if you've only got a few hundred left after that then just shove obv.

The river bet looks so much like he had a weak queen and hoped you didn't have a bigger one. However, I'm afraid of that weak queen being QJ. Another thing to consider is that he's in the BB, yet another reason to call/shove IMO.

I probably lean to call here because if he hit something hard on the river, I've still got chips to play with. But if you're playing to win and not just cash/FT, then shoving is probably best.
