Ugly spot but I might call just to see what he has. I don't know if he bluffs often enough for that particular call to be profitable, but sometimes I like to pay to see what he'll have here.

He will be bluffing some small % of the time so its not a hugely -ev spot. The positives are I use the info I get from the call both to get to know what the opponent is doing, and I use it for my own image.

I bet the turn. As played, I never fold to a 1/2 pot river bet when I checked behind the turn.

Villain is 18/14/4.45 in 779 hands (mostly from data mining), but my image is very LAG at this table. This guy has noticed how I'm playing and has 3 bet me quite a few times when I couldn't call.

I have never taken this line before, but thought it might be good in this situation. How's it look?

With a laggy image, I just 4-bet this pre.

Being that you called, I like the way you played the flop.

We are getting a really sick price, but it looks like villain got there on the river.

Dr. J,

What King Car said, but I think the price is too sick to fold when you only have 13 hands on villain.

Previous streets look fine.

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.
