    you could block the river for a little less, maybe something like 8.
    Flopping quads and boats like its my job

    I was trying to rep the ace, b/c he probably had an overpair which I thought he would fold cause the river is quite v-bet-like but then I should have probably just put him all-in cause he hadn't got much left.

    If you're so sure that he has a better hand than you on the river that you want to turn your hand into a bluff, you should fold the turn. If that makes sense...

    You can't rep the ace here because there's no reason for you to have one.

    But if my opponent is a 0th level thinker than I can rep the ace. Or I can rep the ace if he believes that I am the usual micro-stakes fish who calls it down with AK. Ok my thinking is obv wrong b/c these are pretty heavy assumptions especially readless, just trying to play devils advocate. What line would you recommend? c/f river? It would be pretty tough to lay that down on the turn, I suspect I am ahead of his range (something like 22-TT, AQ, AJ (maybe) ). It turns out that this range is wrong, he had QQ and called river after timebanking. Maybe I shouln't assume that ppl are 3-betting PF with QQ?

    you cant make blanket assumptions. think about how this player would play based on your stats you have on him from your HUD ( I hope you have one) and other things you have noticed about his play.

    I don't have a HUD
    not even PT
    and I agree of course:
