NL100 6max: facing a river shove that I hate

[eigenvalue]

Trust you reads and fold on the flop!

Villain is a normal player around (20/12/3). I think I also have a normal image.

Where is 20/12/3 normal at 6max? This is a TAG, probably capable of a bluff - probably not betting a Queen for value.

I think this comes to a pure read. Have you seen him river bluff before? This isn't even in the arsenal of most SSNL players. However a player with the aggro and discipline to go 20/12/3 is probably well-schooled or well-practiced.

I'd lean toward folding, but would call if I've seen any river bluffs or maniac tendencies.

must be 66

i think he checks behind on turn here to induce a river bluff since the board paired and he doesn't have to worry about any draws

Bingo.

By calling villain's flop raise, we're basically saying we have a Q or better...so I disagree that our hand is under-repped. Checking the turn and river might have induced a bluff...but if the villain is even somewhat competent...he's not shoving a Queen here. Maybe a busted FD, but it looks an awful lot like 66 or even 22.

bet more preflop.

am I the only one who wants to bet more on the flop?

were you going for a stack a donk on the turn?

river is read dependent. Not every TAG is capable of a river push.
