Roommate and I are in discussion about the river play. I don't like the 3rd bet here and think he should have just called raise. He stands by his play. Thoughts??

Poker Stars, $2 Buy-in (30/60 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 2 Players

Hero (BB): 3,540 (59 bb)
SB: 2,460 (41 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8 A
SB raises to 120, Hero calls 60

Flop: (240) 3 7 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets 120, Hero calls 120

Turn: (480) 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, SB checks

River: (480) 4 (2 players)
Hero bets 480, SB raises to 1,020, Hero raises to 1,560, SB raises to 2,220 and is all-in, Hero calls 660

Results: 4,920 pot
Final Board: 3 7 5 6 4
Hero showed 8 A and lost (-2,460 net)
SB showed 8 9 and won 4,920 (2,460 net)

What value are you hoping to get from your 3bet, or is it a bluff?

After he raises to 1020 i flat.. he's not calling without atleast an 8 if u reraise, so your basically giving him free money when he does have the 89 like in this hand

OP, hide the results from next time on

I'd flat his 3bet, there are possibly flushes and you don't even have the nut straight.

Raising here is just plain stupid. In the best case you split.
