Uhm... I guess it comes down to could he be trying to get calue with KJ/KQ/AK here? I'm not really sure to be honest, cuz villain is most likely a monkey and I don't really know how monkeys think (no jokes plz). Yeah that, and there are like 15 different types of monkeys.

i feel like players would raise k10 in this spot also. i beat nothing but a bluff basically or some insane line the villain took with AK/KQ which is extremely unlikely.

Why bet the river at all if you're going to fold to a min-raise? As played I think you need to call. You're getting more than 5 to 1.

I think the better play is to check/call a smallish bet on the river. Keep the pot small when you could be behind the whole time.

why bet the river? because its likely i am ahead and he will pay off a value bet with a worse hand (any K, maybe even some pp's) but when he raises the river that changes the complexion of things. just because you will fold to a raise does not mean that you shouldn't bet.

i'd call. you can't be 85% sure that you're not good here against a random. you can't be 85% sure about much of anything against a random. folding here is a disaster if he has a KQ or something.

I think I call. You have a much better hand than villain should expect in a blind battle. You should be good the 1 in 6 times you need -- just be ready to lose your 5 bucks 4 or more times out of 6 (warning, quick math only).

ps: your bet looks like a blocker at less than 1/2 the pot. A lot of people will make a cheap bluff at it for that reason alone.
