    Default Hero Call Time?

    Villain sucks. 3rd hand he stacks off w K9 on a K36 flop where I flopped two pair. He's also turned mpbk into a bluff on a river.

    I feel like he has AXhh or KXhh more than he has a Q. Can I call here with AK high?

    Full Tilt Poker, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 2 Players
    LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

    Hero (BB): $115
    SB: $198.20

    Pre-Flop: K A dealt to Hero (BB)
    SB raises to $3, Hero raises to $10, SB calls $7

    Flop: ($20) Q 6 2 (2 Players)
    Hero bets $14.50, SB calls $14.50

    Turn: ($49) 9 (2 Players)
    Hero checks, SB checks

    River: ($49) 7 (2 Players)
    Hero checks, SB bets $26, Hero?

    Why overbet it out of poss on that flopp?
    Smallball it
    Obvs fold on that river. He can have much stupid hands like
    Q9s 67s 77 etc

    as normally people entry in a lot of hands with nothing on the heads up... the probabillity of he had made at least one pair is too big...
    is better fold than risk you tips!

    fold, he can definitely play qx this way or have something like 67/77.

    Depends if he's the sort of player who wouldnt play the turn for pot control with a q and would just bet/get it in.

    Btw he cant have kxhh as you have the k of hearts.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    I think you answered it yourself. If he's able to turn hands with some showdown value into a bluff, this is probably an easy laydown because you can't necessarily beat a bluff.
    It would also be interesting to know if he's capable of bet sizing a bluff this way.
    I would fold. HU this is much less likely to be a missed draw, and he could be betting a weak Q or a middle pair for value if he thinks you'll pay with less.
    Also you introduction doesn't say much. TP is the nuts in some aggressive HU games. It really depends on the dynamic. And turning MP into a bluff can be a very good play, because it makes it harder for you to call his bluffs later on.
    + It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that he would float with air and then check behind on the turn.
