    Default Crying call or not?

    Villain 22/18/1.5 over 73 hands. No other info.

    A few questions for this standard situation;
    1- Would you b/f or b/c the river?
    2a- If you b/f, do you like an other river betsizing?
    2b- If you b/c around what odds is your breaking point for b/f-ing?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($25)
    Hero (UTG) ($32.45)
    Button ($25)
    SB ($32.05)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 3, 3
    Hero bets $0.75, Button calls $0.75, 2 folds

    Flop: ($1.85) 3, 10, K (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.50, Button calls $1.50

    Turn: ($4.85) 9 (2 players)
    Hero bets $4, Button calls $4

    River: ($12.85) 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets $8, Button raises to $18.75 (All-In)

    its just that stacks r pretty awkward here, so unless u have a clear idea of whether to make a close b/f here because you're certain villain won't shove anything else than a flush its prolly not worth it to bet here

    that said if ure opponent is stationny/bad betting 6-7$ here on riv seems fine

    If I bet river it would be to b/f.

    I'm betting for a call from KQ/KJ, maybe T9s or some crying call by an underpair/AT or something, although that's not very likely.

    I don't expect my opponents at this level to bluff missed draws/turn marginal made hands into bluffs a lot on the river and I do think he'd bet KQ a lot, KJ maybe.

    So in my view there's very little difference in villains betting range when checked to or his calling range when facing a bet. The latter could have some crying calls in it and with betting I can controle the betsize.

    Think you bet a tad too big on the turn and river if you planned to fold to a river raise.

    i mean if u chk its obv with the intention of folding... its just that imo KJ/KQ is too small a range to get value from with a bet, and Tx and lower pairs is kinda ridic tooo, he's never calling that

    so yeah if ur opp is bad u can get away with betting like 6$ here and folding to a raise i guess
