If I call turn do I have to call the river?

Villain has made several fishy plays, all of which have been of the bad-passive type. I stacked him 1 day earlier after reraising his QQ w my 66 on a K-6-x board.

oh and btw while 4 tabling i didn t notice that villain had limped. ugh. Didn't even notice he was in the hand until he bet the flop...

I think I need to learn to block bet

I really don't like check calling this flop esspecially if I was the preflop rasier.

Slightly off-topic but I do this a lot in blind wars - remember I thought there were only 2 of us.... - when I'm out of position hoping villain will put me on a steal/draw (two-tone flop).

This way I think I can extract most when I'm ahead, lose least when I'm behind (since I won't love folding TPGK heads up) and I don't want to build this pot.

By betting I'm usually only getting calls from draws and am likely getting reraised by a king which is not necessarily good since I beat many kings ppl will defend their blinds with... Plus, it messes w ppl when u constantly check top pair hu... allows for u to get lots of free cards OOP in later hands.

but I guess that's another thread. For this hand it would have helped to realize there were 3 ppl in pot

as played, do you call the river giveme?

I fold this river. You have absolutely no idea what villian has and you can only beat a bluff.

k your avatar just made me *literally* laugh out loud all by myself for the millionth time I have to stop running up my post count admiring it...
