meh. Raise or fold. I don't like calling anywhere in this spot. Especially that weak bet by CO on the flop.

[kabouter]

you would say somebody has 2 hearts, maybe on to a straight draw. I would have called the river, if I was this far in allready.

I don't really see how the 5 changed anything, there was only a remote chance that someone hit the backdoor flush. If your hand was good enough to call on the flop and turn then it's definitly good enough to call the river as well

Raise flop. Call river, as played.

I like to raise these pots for a few reasons.
1.It was checked to the bettor....bluff/semi bluff possibilities for him to bet.
2.If the raiser did have a higher PP he would have bet more as this is a drawy board, NORMALLY, donks always do crazy stuff which could be making a bet like this with AA to give you 5:1 to call but not likely.
3.People like to bet overcards with an all under flop.
4.People will sometimes weak bet an underpair and fold to a raise/check raise.
I get smooth called down all the time with a mid pp to a flop like this by people with Ak-Ax or an underpair......ie this situation.
Bet flop, if called fire 2/3 pot size when board pairs.
