SB is 25/8/3.0 over 150 hands. I'm done with this, right?

I'm calling this and some bets on most rivers (foldin A rivers since often this is A9 or A6 or something). Leak?

Well, my thoughts were something like this. There's only two things it could be that are consistent with the action so far. One is a set that has lost it's nerve and is worried I won't bet the turn with a flush draw. The other is a flush draw like A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. In either case, calling isn't the best play.

You don't want to give him odds, and you don't want to build a big pot. I think it is better to call and close the action.
