Default QTs river sucks

villan is very very looose and very active. he's pretty crazy. i saw him cold call a pfr with 74s, called a bet on the flop (which was 74K, called a bet on the turn (Q) and bet the river when checked to). his stats are like 60/20/infinity over this short session. I've seen him donk into the PFR with A high and call smallish raises only to hit an Ace on the turn. I've been trying to get in a few more pots with him.

Me and him played in one hand earlier. I raised PF with 99, he called. flop came 87T, he donked into me, I raised and he folded.

whats your play here?

Shove for your remaining $30. He's calling you with an ace, and he rarely has the K here.

Ewww KcXc ftw? Is pf a standard call? Genuinely curious. Nevermind, he is mental. Pretty ugly spot, sounds like the type to peel the flop with KT/J. If he's very active I might close my eyes and call.

Rly looks like Kxcc. If one of those K's was a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I snap call. As is I dunno, I prolly call cos I have trouble folding anything and I can't see a call being terrible v described villain but a fold aint bad either. Sucky spot [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Push.

The only really bad outcome is if Villain leaves the table soon.

I think you have to call the river given the opponent, though it is an ugly spot.

The place I would reevalute though is preflop. I don't normally call raises with QTs on the button, and I think it's a bad idea to loosen your calling standards just because villain is a donkey. You are playing for stacks each time you see a flop with a player like this, and I'd want to minimize the risk of domination since TPGK is usually the nuts against his range.

I'd call. It's hard to predict what these kind of maniacs are doing most of the time, even when they make unexpected huge bets. He might have a king but I think he's bluffing or making a bizarre value bet with an Ace at least 33% of the time.

How about this same situation if an Ace comes on the river? I'd be more likely to fold if the Ace paired on the river.
