    Default Set a trap, did it backfire?

    I have a read on opp as being very aggressive, so I assumed the big bet was coming on the river. But the river is quite the scare card, so whats the best course of action, pushing as I intended, or just calling the river?

    Baby stakes btw, just a $25 turbo SnG

    I think just call the river (but then again I'm weak/tight). I would expect you to be ahead more often than you're behind here but not worth taking the risk that the T filled him up IMO. If opp is very aggressive, then the fact that opp check/called (rather than leading or check-raising) on the flop is admittedly somewhat scary.

    Call. You're probably slightly behind to his calling range.

    You're not making a huge mistake by pushing though.

    Yea, hes taking advantage of the weakness you demonstrated on the turn. I'd call, mainly because I don't like pushing over him simply because there isn't a whole lot of fold equity against him given the odds he's getting to call with any pocket pair.
