Top Pair - Good Kicker - Is calling down a mistake?

Could you please explain why one would want to C/R?

If you are behind AA, KK, or AK you'll just get re-raised.

If you are winning, you may make him fold.

Is the idea that you can fold to a re-raise but you can't fold to a bet and raise?

Why are we not raising even once with TP Good kicker?

Villian could 3-bet PF with any mid PP, AJ, AT,JJ,AQ,KQ.

Bet/fold the river. Seems like a WA/WB situation to me.

*Edit: Maybe I take that back. I suck and to make matters worse have had a few beers. I think calling down is fine. That river doesn't make me happy. I'll leave my original post for others to think about [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Would it be a better line if the river were a rag?

Why?

My gut instinct was to check/raise the flop, but given that 3-bet from our opponent, I'm having a hard time believing that would be profitable.

I actually think we can consider the bet/fold line on the river, since it seems like this is a WA/WB situation. The board being that scary though, hmmm, it's close and tough (to answer the earlier question, I think the bet/fold line would be better if a blank fell). Check/call for a read is where my vote goes. I want to know if this guy 3-bets premium hands.

I think this is where this link plays. I would donk out the first bet and call down when raised. You have top pair and a great kicker. With his stats he looks to me to be LAG. He could have a wide range of raising hands which you have beat.

No way am I folding here.
