Folds to Hero on BUT with 8♦️6♦️ raise to 15, UTG LAG calls. Pot=33
Flop 8♥️5♥️2♣️

Turn 7♦️
Villain checks. Hero bets 30. villain calls. Pot=123.
River A♠️
Villain bets 45. Hero calls?

Getting almost 4:1 on a call here, but it makes a lot of sense that villain could have AX♥️♥️ and I'm not sure what hands villain could be calling down with and now deciding to bluff with, the A should hit my range more than his I think he should be scared.
What do people think about this call? Only need to be right about 25% of the time here to show profit.
Thanks!

Does villain bluff enough here? What hands does villain bluff with? Do you have enough Ax to defend if you need to defend vs bluffs here?

Check back flop. As played, check back turn. As played, fold.

The A is hitting his range more than yours.

86 is a tough call.

If you know he doesn't bluff with this size, then fold.

A9?

Don't think players are bluffing here even though his line is a bit ridiculous. If you're barreling, maybe you barrel this river and he can then check-raise big hands and bluff catch.

A lot of physical information can come from a player during the hand that would help you make a much easier decision here. Care to speak of the player, timing of all plays, way chips went into the pot, etc.?

pretty tough hand that comes down to any info you have on villain, I do like the flop bet and I would bet a bit higher on the turn but cant be mad honestly

don't really agree with check flop and turn. i think betting is fine. it's tough to justify raise pre flop with 86 then checking an 8 high board.

I like preflop, flop and turn.
On river, it's a very close spot between calling and folding, but I think I lean towards folding 86 and calling with 99+

I'd recommend using the ':' operator to make suits rather than the font itself. So it's /heart/ with the '/' replaced by a ':' to make a heart icon. GLGL.
