2/4 AQ OOP 3-way - call river?

[Poker monkey]

I don't play much LHE but does this river fold (and the rest of the hand) this look standard?

IMO you need check call the river. Flush draws have not come though. Most likely they are chasing overcard draws like you. I would not bet the river as the turn check will likely induce any pair to call on the river.

Check calling this river is awful. You're wagering 1BB to win 3.5BB, betting only a complete bluff. You will catch someone bluffing with a busted flush draw here ocassionally, but no where near the 35% of the time you need to show a profit.

Bet/fold is better if you want to make a play at taking this down, but your turn check has shown enough weakness, and this pot is small enough, that I'd just give up here.

If you really want to try for this you need to bet the turn, though the presence of the flush draw means you should also consider firing again on the river (hoping to fold small/medium pockets and middle&amp;bottom pairs in addition to the missed draws).

Whether any of this is worth it in such a tiny pot is of course your decision, consider the profile of your opponents and whether they are more likely to fold.

I probably try to blast the turn again. If you do that and get called checking the river is fine, I think.

Have you ever heard of an offensive check! Check with the intention of calling because your passive turn action goes hand in hand with inducing your opponent to stab at the pot with a weak overcard holding
