Bet/fold the river. As played I call.

[Douglas Leslie]

Unless I know the pre-flop raise is likely to be a bit loose, I just call here.
Why check the river? I prefer to bet and fold if I get raised.

[LukeSLTS]

Any read on villain?

I would have to be playing against the rockiest of rocks to fold here. As played this is a clear call. I disagree with the other responses so far that want a bet/fold on the river. I prefer the check/call here against many villains because that card is a great card for the villain to run a bluff with.

I would call UTG1'raise Preflop since you equity is about 30% given the ranges of UTG1 &amp; the cold call by CO.

The Flop is good.

The Turn is good.

On the River I check/call since CO comes alive and what hand does he call that you beat?

Any A. Any J. Any 3. Any pocket underpair he called the earlier streets with.

As played, no - I don't fold the river.

Without reads I assume he is just betting with an A when you show weakness. A flush is possible with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (or A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]). If he likes to call 3-bets cold with KQ/KJ preflop or doesn't raise turn with AK then you would like to play with him in the future as well.

Bet the river. I think you can crying call a raise too if you have any reads he's capable of bluffing.

EDIT: he could be betting any of his holdings on the river when you show weakness.

[chr1s82p]

what can you say about the ranges? it is micro-stakes and AQs is a good starting hand for a reraise preflop when you don't know anything about your opponents, imo.

[scott2130]

I 3-bet to isolate the UTG player. I have been running bad and figured with AQs I had better chances heads up.

As for reads, this is .5/1 and they play anything, sometimes correctly.
