Call? Why is this river gross.

[manupod]

seems like a simple call, no?

[ofishstix]

meh, id call. but his bet size does make it mildly gross.

[homeslice]

His river bet is large, and looks like he's attempting to steal. I'm prob calling...

uh, what? KTs/TT/22 win

QJs/AJ/AQ - lose.

What else can he have? Without a read on his bluffing frequencies how is this an easy call?

[Syntec87]

why did we check the turn if we fold this river.... it has to be to give him some rope.

[Dire]

He is not value betting worse so he's bluffing or value betting a monster. Board doesn't lean itself towards monsters and he probably would have raised alot of strong hands on the flop, so I'd call pretty happily.

Would he really call pf with KTs? TT he might definitely squeeze with. Seems like it's gotta be 22 or QJs that doesn't want to give up. If he likes to bluff then call. If he's playin straight forward against you then fold.

Would he try to value town you with KQ like this?

I'd be really surprised if KQ was in his range.
