    Default 50NL: KK River Decision

    Hello!! First post in SH section, was 50NL/100NL Full Ring, moved over to 6-Max recently, my background/history/approach is posted over in my Operations thread ("Progression").

    Disclaimer: Not a MILF, Cougar was my mascot in high school

    Apologies if this hand is straightforward, left a little unsettled about it...

    Villain is pretty fishy but showed some limited aggression, 49/29/1.1, 60% fold to c-bet, 7% PF 3-Bet over 73 hands

    PF: Put Villain on a pretty wide range PF

    Flop: 3/4 PSB c-bet for value (2 clubs, 2 lower connectors near villain range)

    Turn: Flush hits, chose to b/f 3/4 PSB (Value from Jx hands, value/protection from club draws, sets & lower made flushes will probably raise)

    River: Decide to check, didn't really see much value in betting (what do I beat that will call?). Villain bets strong, representing Nut flush, made straight with a 7/2 or maybe some sort of 2 pair, although this villain might be fishy enough to have air. My initial thought was easy fold (need to be right ~30%) but then I started second guessing myself after and wanted to check with you guys

    Better lines to take? Feel free to berate any street

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    Looks very standard. Fold river how does he ever have air?

    If he called you down with AcX and now decides to bluff, then you just need to give it to him. Maybe he thinks AJ/QQ is good but I doubt it.
