25/50 vs Mahatma

[Stinger88]

Here's an interesting hand from a few days ago. Prahlad is playing his usual aggressive game, not tilting though, I haven't played with him too much, but I'm playing pretty aggressively at this table, with a decent amount of 3-betting preflop and raising postflop. Comments on all streets are appreciated.

[censored], im dumb. sry i thought hero folded river.

Yea I mean he is known for his over agressive overbets with anything ranging to high cards to the nuts. Hard to say whether the river is a good call or not. You wanted to induce a bluff from him?

Given what I have seen from Mahatma's HH's seems fine, and rather than getting pissed when the pot is shipped to him, understand that variance will be part of playing against an ultra-aggressive player, and decide whether you want that.

Is mahatma dumb enough to think you called with a flush draw here? I think if you check raised the flop I would definately call the river. Actually... You showed absolutely no aggression in this hand, and vs opponents that play the hand like you did, I am very likely to shove the river on a non spade board here with far weaker hands than KQ. I think you should definately call here. Mahatma can obviously be doing this with anything and I think your hand is strong enough to make a call here(I could see him doing this with weaker kings among other hands.) I do prefer 3betting pre though, although I am sure you had your reasons for just calling. Not sure if i got my thoughts out coherently, f add. gl
