Default Against river push. What do you do, and why.

I raise to 110 with pocket 8's. BB calls

Also if you are not done with the hand once villain calls the flop you should be pushing the turn, if youve decided your not good against his range the river is an easy check fold.

Read: Player seems to play tight. Hardly raises on the button. Sometimes takes stabs as pots if checked to.

You're totally boned here. Without a VERY strong read I fold.

If hes tight what could he have possibly called with that you beat that he wouldnt push? Looks like hes slow playing a 5 or Q IMO.

More tight pre-flop than anything.

Have limped on SB with A-J before. Checked down with no pair/no draw.

Fold

Is there any hand in his range that your beating? Before he bet he might have an ace or a king, but he probably would have checked for value. He has 22, 33 or 44 once in a while. Against agressive players you might be shown JTs once in a while. This combined with out BS probably doesnt happen 10% of the time.

After his bet, I just felt he had nothing, and only bet because i checked the turn. I called, and was right. He had K6.I thought about mucking it, but the way the action went, I just ruled out any Q, 5, or T. More of a feel hand then anything else.
