River decision w/ small set

[Atlanta Andrew]

WPEX 1/2 5-max

Villain appears TAGish and has done nothing out of line in about 40 hands. This hand was the first preflop 3-bet I had seen from him.

I open raise 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in CO. Button 3-bets. Folded back to me and I call.

Flop (7.5SB):
2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check and call.


Turn (4.75BB):
K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check and raise. Button 3-bets, and I cap it.


River (12.75BB)
A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet. Button raises. I call.


There are (6) AA/KK combos that beat me and (9) AK combos that I beat. My problem with a 3-bet, though, is that I almost always lose two bets when I am behind and only gain one when ahead. Therefore, I call. Right?

I think raising here is a bad idea.

I like the river call.

With your read, I like the hand

Well I think the flop action sucks. He's never giving you credit for a hand if you bet or C/R. The turn and river look good.
