    Default 25nl: troublesome river spot

    Is this one of those spots where your like EZ FOLD?

    Should we know we are beat by the end of the turn?

    Villian is 22.5/20/2.6 with a 100% cbet percentage 3% 3bet and 42% fold to 3bet
    all over 125 hands

    I can't remember my other reads on him but I remember him being pretty aggro and didn't seem to be all that good (but who is at 25nl)

    No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($25.30)
    SB ($25.10)
    Hero (BB) ($85.72)
    UTG ($25.35)
    MP ($32.89)
    CO ($25.70)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, 10
    1 fold, MP bets $0.75, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.50

    Flop: ($1.60) 10, 6, A (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP bets $1, Hero raises $3.75, MP calls $2.75

    Turn: ($9.10) 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets $5.50, MP calls $5.50

    River: ($20.10) 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets $10, MP raises $22.89 (All-In), Hero ???

    Total pot: $65.88


    I get myself into a lot of spots like this and I feel like I should be folding the river here about 100% but I wanted some second opinions? Also if this is a snap fold what decisions are leading you to know this is a fold? I guess I'm asking for some advice on how I should be thinking in these spots so I can figure out how to fold more

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    Preflop seems very marginal against this guy. Turn sizing is terrible. River I would b/f $4. Of course fold to his shove what do you ever beat?

    Agree with pocketfours - I don't see worse hand, which can call 1/2 PSB on the river, 4$ seems better

    - you are aiming only hands like AJ, AQ, AK on scary river

    So what should I be betting here on the turn? and should I ever consider checking back this turn?

    and bet 4$ into the 20$ pot on the river?? would that not be exploitable?

    Umm firstly, this isn't a 3 bet pot lol.

    Agree preflop is marginal at best and would ideally like to just fold pre.

    I have no idea why people seem to think AJ-AK is never calling this river to a bigger bet. 25NL aggro regs are also pretty stationy and hate to find the fold button in general. If he's aggro, he prolly 3 bets the flop with flush draws a fairly good amount of the time and we have the best hand a tonne.

    Turn sizing is really bad for really obvious reasons. Bet the turn harder to A: get more value from any draws, Ax while these hands are rarely folding the turn and B: to set up a nice river shove that he can call more easily with AJ-AK since this is easily the bulk of his range.

    I would bet the turn harder. The 6 takes away some of the combos he was worried about (666) and if you bet $7.5-8 on turn, and he might not believe that you have a hand like T's full betting so hard.

    River I would just jam. Doubt he gets to river with that many FD's, other than Txcc. But you gotta size the turn better, to not leave more than a pot size bet left on the river.
