River spot 400NL

[DrMagic]

Just moved to iPoker.
Main villain is 18/16/4 over about 100 hands, no other special reads. Button is a station fish, pretty bad player on the whole
I had been playing about 22/19, hadn't shown down much, hadn't had many showdowns at all actually.

Who prefers 4betting pf? I call to keep the fish in.

edit: missed stacks, PF is OK I think

river is tough, but I think you're rarely ahead (splitting a lot though)

[wpr101]

Yeah I like just calling this. I doubt the fish is going to call that loosely on this board though.

[Omniheart]

yea just call. He is either bluffing, has you beat, or same hand. I don't mind 4 bet sometimes preflop but the reraise is kinda small and you guys are 1.5 buy in deep.

[Hattifnatt]

raising the river is really stupid, BB will not call you with worse like ever.

edit: misread flop action. nvm, nice hand.

[DrMagic]

Ok well the general concensus here is that I should call the river. I think its very close but in these spots where the decision is marginal I almost always call cos I'm a station. So call I did and he had AA.

[***]

If you think about it combinatronically it might be better to fold, since I'd be surprised if villain is bluffing this river. I think his range is something like {KK+, AK}. The EV of calling against this range is -$17 if you don't discount any part of his range. If any part of his range is to be discounted I think it's AK based on his flop check and turn+river bets.

Do you think he's squeezing preflop and has a wider range of kings? If so that obviously makes it a call, but I just don't expect players like him 3-betting hands like that out of position.

[DrMagic]

I expected there was a chance he would squeeze pf to isolate the fish.
