50 NL should I raise the river?

No pokertracker on laptop...but villain has 3bet me light at least 3 times. Very very loose Unfortunately, they were all small raises like this one below and also where I have marginal holdings. Hence most of the time, I had to fold the flop OOP.

This time I have a real hand...so my question is do I raise the river for value or just call...his range is so wide he can anything and I ahvent seen a showdown with him...

Also. I figure if I raise him he would suspect strength and fold... what do you guys think.

now im a breakeven player but i never raise the river here. I probably 4 bet him preflop with a raise just over pot. You don't raise at any point during the hand so you can't be sure how strong he is. Your only option is to call. I probably don't fold because he can easily see you as weak but it is possible that you've let him get there

If you're saying he 3-bet you LIGHT atleast three times then I put in a big raise after his reraise, say to 22, maybe a little more since I'm not happy about a call. I'd rather he fold or we get it all in.

As played, I definately raise flop. Since you didn't raise flop the turn needs to be raised. Since we didn't do that either then we either have to call or fold river. A raise is horrible IMO and I'm not even liking a call...I dunno he seems to ahve waken up on the river. Maybe he has 10/10

what? he 3-bets you light and you call OOP with AK? 4-bet preflop

The board is pretty safe; I would not mind the c/c until river if it wasn't because you'd want a bigger pot against this guy. I'd c/r the flop or turn and play from there
