That river bet sort of looks like a block to me.

I'd raise AI

I'm guessing his range is something like two pair or a straight

I don't think you're beat very often here.

This looks like a sucker bet to me. Giving me good enough odds to call with a weak hand. I call for sure but there is no way I would raise here. You have a 5 high flush for crying out loud.

Can I ask what's wrong with the PF call? If villian is only gonna raise to 3BB, why not play a hand like this that has the potential to be a monster and he won't be able to put you on later?

I kind of like the PF call, and I think if villain keeps doing it, it will more than pay for itself because the hands you win with cards like these are usually pretty large.

A lot of it has to do with being oop. It's gonna be harder to get paid off when we hit, and more expensive when we're beat. Also, 53s is a pretty lousy hand, but I'd call with it every now and then on the button if CO raised to 3x.

What worse hand does a solid player call a push with on the end here? Maybe a straight thats it.

a push here is a 1/3 pot bet! He's calling with anything and everything

Check/calling that pot sized bet OOP on the turn and leading the river with a weakish blocking bet pretty much means that the chance villain has a flush is negligible (he's dead set on pot control not extracting value). Shove over his bet every time, he will call with straights/2pairs plenty of the time (b/c he's pot stuck). Remember, solid players rarely fold strong hands (b/c it is usually wrong to do so). The other side of that coin is that they will pay off occasionally when they shouldn't.
