Any value in calling the river?

Villian is 27/25 but only over 40 hands or so. No reads really.

I think villain has AK or a higher pair here almost always.

Good fold.

What do you beat here, K high on down and 77,88? Throw it away.

you dont have to call the flop always

dependant on what?

what you have seen him do.

also consider, if his range is AK AA KK QQ and you are calling hoping he has AK, he still has 10 outs

makes sense.

Is there anything wrong with folding preflop?

yes, missing out on set $
