My image is tag, about 20/9 or so after 150 hands at this table. Villian is 20/4, decent player, been here about 100 hands. What's my play on the river after being called down on flop/turn?

Lead out, villan is on AQ

[givememyleg]

Lead out, villan is on AQ

How much?

[Knytestorme]

I'd say $20 for value and be ready to call a push.

Given his stats I can see AJ being in range but can't see him calling that turn bet for a gutshot.

Alternativly, if we're sure he isn't on AJ/QT/KT/KQ then an AI overbet may get called if he thinks you are trying to scare him out with like AT.

With his stats it could also easily be playing KQ or a flopped set like this. I'd check/call. Maybe that's weak-tight though.

[Miffed22001]

value bet, possibly call a raise depending on what you think he has
AQ/KQ/J9s are all possible.
Id only have bet 6 on the turn then have bet $10 on the river.

[Fnord]

$12 gets the job done.

[freechus9]

Can we check/call here or is that leaving money on the table?

[allLiving]

How can the villain possibly be on AQ? He wouldn't be cold calling a bet here with AQ on a flop like that.

[Genitruc]

If villain is decent the passive AQ play seems weak to me.

I'd be more likely to put him on Js-9s or Ks-Js with turn giving him a big draw and explaining the call.

He could be slowplaying a set figuring backdoor flush unlikely for you.

He calls a value bet w AQ, reraises w J9, calls (maybe) w KJ, prob reraises w set... Seems to me he is as likely to have a reraising hand as one that will call a value bet so I think it's pretty marginal. I lean towards a 1/2 pot-sized bet here but can understand check/call.

[givememyleg]

Well, I was pretty confused by his call call line, and to be honest I did not know where I was. The pot was pretty big, about 55 bbs, and I took the weaksauce line of:

Flop: ($4.75) T, Q, 3 (2 players)
givememyleg bets $3.5, CO calls $3.50.

Turn: ($11.75) 8 (2 players)
givememyleg bets $8, CO calls $8.

River: ($27.75) K (2 players)
givememyleg checks, CO bets $20, givememyleg .....

Either he attacked my weakness or has me beat. Easy call here? $10 a better option vs checking? If he pushed over my bet, fold?.. or is there too much invest at that point?

[IowaSkinsFan]

I really would block bet the river, It's just too weak to check/call, however given you did check I still call the river.
