if you call turn you should be snap calling that river.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because villain's range is the same on both streets?

[/ QUOTE ]

hero should be deciding on the turn whether or not he is going to call a river bet. simply calling turn and hoping villain checks behind river is pretty weak.

[/ QUOTE ] First part is somewhat true. That does not however mean that we can not decide to call turn and fold river.

I call river because our hand is somewhat underrepped and he can be bluffing or value betting worse. I do not call because folding turn is ridic weak and hence folding river must be equally weak. I also think it's somewhat close and that we are beat pretty often.

of course. the fact that villain bet the river makes it more likely that we are beat, that he has AK/AJ/set/whatever. i'm not saying that river is an auto call simply because we called turn - i just mean that in general if i choose to call turn i'm generally calling that river all day and expecting it to be +EV. i'm not calling for the sole reason that calling turn and folding river is weak. its just part of the reason.

EDIT: you said it well yourself - I call river because our hand is somewhat underrepped and he can be bluffing or value betting worse. thats why i snap call river

he might crai with a flush draw or even as a bluff and we prob have to fold to it.

he doesn't get to bluff into us again

if he just calls it puts us in a kind of crappy spot OOP on the river

i think c/c is a better line all things considered

I think my hand is pretty much face up, imo all i beat is a bluff here or i get a chop from AQ... because a strong ace and sometimes a set plays like this

that is why i was considering folding the river, reasonable thought?

If you plan on folding river, you have to fold turn. Calling OOP hoping to get it checked down is a big leak unless villian has a history of taking showdowns or is scared $ or something.

Your hand is certainly NOT face up - if you're a tag.
I got caught twice by the same tag doing this with AQ. Few tag's play AQ like this, and tag's bet strong hands, so this looks like a reasonable third barrell bluff to push you off your hand.
