    Well, at river, you need to win this pot at showdown once in three times to break even. Personally I think you'll struggle to get 15% equity against any realistic range. The only hand I can even imagine he can be playing this strong that we beat is AT, but even then, if this guy overvalues top pair tens top kicker this much, I'd expect him to spazz pre with it. It's unlikely a flush draw plays like this, if it is it's a great level. This is two pair or better like nine times in ten. So to answer your question, I'd say calling this river bet is hugely -ev.

    No, just raise ffs. When aces get busted by the big blind after they were limped, everyone at the table is laughing. Limped aces deserve busting.

    ^Too true.

    Whenever I see a showdown between people and one has AA and loses, I look back at the 'slow play' and just laugh for a few seconds and say (out loud, and at my screen) 'don't slow play those aces kids'.

    Raise, and reraise every street really. If you take the blinds, then you take the blinds.
