Not a lot of reads on a villain. Do you like my river raise? And should I push the river? He reraised small really fast.

I'd be much more inclined to fold river than to push

I would probably fold to a bigger raise but since he reraised so small, I paid off.

I'm not saying I think calling is bad, but pushing would certainly be terrible.

Pot is too small to move on the river. Possible he wanted to induce a raise vs a "likely" flush given your line. You played the hand fine

I like the way you played this.

Seems pretty standard to me. River is not a push even though villian could easily have trips.

I agree that this is a call. I would be interested to hear the cash game people weigh in on the minimum hand that you would both check turn and value push on river with (is there such a hand?).

depending on the flow of the game I think a set of jacks, four nines or a set of fives, If I had a good read on villain as chases draws/likes to play suited cards etc.
