Fold. You are behind a very obvious straight and a very obvious flush, both of which he's obviously not scared of. He *could* be bluffing here but since you showed strength on flop and turn, he's probably not. Of course, there is a small chance he puts you on a set, two pair or an overpair, hence your check on the river, but I really doubt he's that aggro.

tough fold, but you are beat here > 2/3 times.

[Da GOAT]

maybe it isnt much of a hand actually!! as long as it seems grand im happy

[Miffed22001]

rgrtgttrthyhyhwtyhcreg fold.

With no info, fold. This could have just been an AQ calling down and spiking top pair, but they probably wouldn't be this aggro.

[bearcats05]

fold the way it was played.
maybe sometimes just check call the turn and try to keep the pot smaller... but with no info at 25nl being aggressive is probably better idk.

With the two completed draws, I may be more apt to make a value bet on the river instead of the check. The problem with the check is it now could be just AQ or PP thinking your weak. He could be easily putting you on two overs or just a small PP and be thinking he has you beat. As played, fold. The problem with wanting them to bet is, they might, then what.

this looks so bluffy i wish u had reads.

[Pants_101]

Is it not the case that if you check to induce a bluff you then have to call because otherwise you are helping your opp play better against you? With the pf raise I'd be suprised if he has a 7 but I'm often suprised

[Chopper]

maybe i'm a nit, but there's no way i call this. too much out there that weakens your hand substantially.

fold. at 25 NL i am not worried about picking off bluffs. just wait for a better opportunity.

[Ash256]

This is a situation I learned to stop getting myself into - checking the river to induce a bluff, then having an uncallable bet thrown at me. I much prefer betting the river.

Whether to call or not? I don't know, that's a horrible one.

[givememyleg]

The only hands I really fear are QQ or a flush... maybe a long shot 87s? I dunno I probably call.

[yorib]

Tough since it looks so much like AcQ. I mean, an overpair would reraise that flop bet. A straight would check down, or throw out a value bet so they don't get blown off of their hand. It's either a bluff or a flush. Flushes usually value bet there.

For me it's a crying call, I think it's 50/50 and that's +EV.
