pf raise a bit too high. jus go for standars 3x bb. I call river.

[EJXD2]

Yeah, I call too. I think he thinks you're weak, but you're strong enough to defeat the vast majority of his range here.

I really see this as him planning to check and call all the way and then make a move on the river.

[themobfather]

I guess I'd call the river, but I'd probably check behind on turn.

[Cornell Fiji]

Betting the turn is pretty bad IMO. Big aces and pocket pairs are a pretty big part of his range after his call preflop and on the flop. You want him to bluff with his pocket pairs on the river. A8 is a bluff catcher here, don't build the pot.

I think best case scenario is a chop on the river, I might find a fold here but I would never be in this situation

[Fiksdal]

Yes check turn. We are in position, and what hand that we beat will call?

[starstx]

I like the bet check and call
