25NL - river raise

[canavarr]

villain is 37/6/1.3 (150 hands)
my bets here are lower than my regular bets, I kinda wanted to keep the pot small, and take the initiative with probe bets. so as played what would you do on the river, how would you play the other streets??

A normal bump would have sufficed, but if you're gonna get all bent out of shape that no one replied to the hand you posted then thats fine too.

I don't see him raising the river with much that you beat unless he's a total retard with a lower A. He's limping QJ, AT, A9 for sure and with a low aggro like that he's definitely got at least the straight here.

Weird hand. You might be better off C/C river and hope to snap off a smallish bet from a missed draw.

The game is 5 handed, and 5 players saw a flop.
You lead for half the pot? I know you said your raises were low, however I think this is a check or roughly pot bet myself.

Villian is calling you down with position. on all streets. To flip out a bit on the turn, I recon he has you beat. Unfortunatley IMO the decision is not yours, as villian is giving you $3.50 to win $10.50. I believe that you will win this situation around 3-1 on the basis that some of the opertunitys will be bluffs.

IMO i belive a fold is supersensible, however 3-1 is 3-1 with trips... even with a counterfitted kicker and dangerous board.

Even at 3-1, I'd imagine your beat too much, I really don't see a bluff pretty much ever here and doubt it's ace with worse kicker

[Sordini]

I believe Hero is behind. I did not make that clear.
Upon review, The 3-1 milarky is over-justifying a dodgey call.

I think I have to call, the only hands I'm worried about is A9 or some slowplayed big pair.

do not lead for half of the pot
given how weak your bets were you might actually call this river raise
c/c on river is also viable
