prob is a c/f

The only combinations we lose to is a set or AQ. imo.

I don't think villain overcall with A-4 and A-5. That said it is still unlikely you are in front, so I see a c/f as the best solution.

Really sucks this spot because you're readless.

I just think this is a fold because it's really hard to put villain on air here. You surely can't give a random villain credit for turning Qx into a bluff here this early on? Apart from that the flop is rainbow and I think if he has worse Ax somehow here he wouldn't be shoving he'd be checking back or betting small imo.

AQ or a set makes a lot of sense for villain

The thing is, even if he plays ALL of his AQ, 44, 55 and 88 combos like that we can still profitably call, should he play AJ like that every time and has no other hands in his range (just as an illustration). Admittedly, there are many players who wouldn't do that, but given he is an unknown/fish in the Big109, we should be able to come up with enough random hands to profitably call.

Also to all people who say we can't give Villain credit for turning hands into bluffs, I'd argue that there is a significant/non-negligible number of UNKNOWN players in the Big109 who do not even know what turning a hand into a bluff means and just randomly put their chips in there with a hand like 99 because they don't know any better.

hero folds

A lot of hands turned into bluffs IMO, hero is for almost sure betting 2 pair + on this river, a good player will turn a lot of pairs into bluffs knowing he's check folding here the vast majority of the time(90+% ?)..... All that being said it's really close, but readless i think i fold.

Edit, just re-read the hand history, i think i'd opt for a call, but really close.

i am thinking 44,55,QJ,AJ..maybe A 10... think im calling this, pref jamming river though.

23 and 67 got there.. sets play this way, AQ plays this way... you're not seeing worse aces when you call unless he has 2 pair... nothing missed, it looks like a fold once you check. I don't mind shoving river at all, you can get called by enough I think early in a big

So we basically don't have a calling range?

Was it you who played this hand? Looks terrible....

yea im probably just jamming otr myself
if your checking to induce then seems like an ez snap

yea this too

I like c/f...and I don't think it's that close as you think it is.

esp when you're readless on the villain so there's no reason to believe he's bluffing you here. If you've played decent amount of cash game (aka 100-150bb as opposed to 20-30bb mtt stack), you'd know AK is rarely good here.

Why did you bet the turn?

Read this thread to learn something, instead everyones answers show the exact conflict in my head, someone wanna pokerstove some ranges and show me why a call is correct, because my head says standard call and my intuition says fold readless
