Preflop overrep leads to funky river decision

[Municipal Hare]

29/20/1.6 villain; appears credible postflop.

The river felt like a decent value-betting opportunity until he turned the tables.

$3/$6

It always sucks being on the wrong end of a WA/WB line.

If villain was bad I would be calling without thinking.
If villain is good, he either outplayed you with AQ, KQ or JJ. Or he is setting up a pretty darn good 3'rd level bluff.
I prolly call tho and make a note of it.

I guess you could raise and hope he's bet-folding 99 or something . . .

I would probably just call, though.

A case could be made for folding, I'd imagine. I doubt you're best here. Still, 8.5 to 1 . . . I couldn't fold. A couple of worse pocket pairs are even available. And in this steal situation he could have A6s or something.

[bobhalford]

You are probably toast but he could have A6d or something like that.

In the action Id just call here

You mean outflopped and played bad?

For some reason I though Hero was UTG.

Still, you dont play this WA/WB if you are villain? I usually do and suspect that I am missing value.

[Heisenb3rg]

Call because his line doesnt make much sense and you have good odds.

If anything Id want to call for information here.
You get a lot of valuable stuff here.

how he reacts to your cap, if he didnt semi-bluff turn raise you with a draw, he plays WA/WB with a queen, can take random bluff river donks etc..

Part of me really, really wants to raise this. This looks like a standard WA/WB line with 88-JJ. If villain A) has one of these hands and B) is capable of bet-folding, you win. You need to be right about 25% of the time for this to work.

The other part of me says to fold. The only hand I see you beating is A6. But then again, getting 8.5:1, in the heat of battle I'd probably just call.

It's good to see the spectrum of considerations represented here. His looked very much like a premeditated, call-seeking bet, so the other two options were duelling in my head.

The hesitation I showed and the money in the pot made me settle on the consensus line. Alas. Owned by jacks.
