Is this an easy/standard river fold?...

-Villain is kinda fishy 28/8/2.3 but haven't played with him much today at all. This is like his first hand at the table and he hasn't done anything of note yet

Yea it looks like a pretty easy fold. A 7 is pretty unlikely but JQ is just about the only hand that makes sense. Hes shoving before you get a chance to show weakness so it doesn't look like a good spot to bluff and there arent many other missed draws he can have here. Hes also reasonably passive so yea, Instafold.

its relevant u have 999 cause he rivers 2pr so rarely

gross. i think you have to fold this with villain being fairly passive.

did he insta-shove?

Yah it was pretty insta, which made me feel more like calling.

I feel like a rivered straight might not want to shove and instead bet a little smaller to get value from a worse hand. So this logic makes me want to call.

I feel like a rivered QJ WOULD shove to get value out of someone with a 7, so this makes me want to fold.

Hmmm.. maybe this spot is just marginal either way.
