Preflop-turn is all standard of course.

River's usually a fold unless you've seen him be bluffy postflop. Looks like a slowplayed trips/boat though.

FOLD! What do you beat? I don't think he's bluffing into you with a missed draw after you showed strength on two streets.

You beat a busted draw, of course. Which may or may not be part of the opponent's range. We don't know without a read.

That's what it comes down to. If the opponent is likely to do this with a busted draw, call. If you know he won't, or he is unknown, fold.

You need more than PT numbers (re: read) to make this call on the end at NL100.

Yeah, you really need to start including either reads or at least postflop numbers in your posts. These factors, reads especially, are basically the deciding factors in pots like these.

But like, what kinds of hands have you seen him limp/call with so far? How have you seen him play missed draws? Does he slowplay big hands?

Gotta work on noticing how people play certain hands - this hand is about impossible to give meaningful advice on just knowing he is LAG preflop. Fold or a call could both be fine.
