Readless I think river's a sigh-fold, mainly because the randoms getting excited about TPWK, middle pair or their pocket 6's usually calm down a bit by the river.

To oversimplify, if his range is any Kx then excluding AK six such hands we beat vs 4 we don't. and we *just about* have odds to call (before ICM tax), but I think river bet pushes his range more towards the partswe lose to.

sb can quite reasonably have ATC's when he completes preflop

Agree with the above poster that pot betting + overbet on the river weights his range to the upper end (2 pair+) as opposed weak Kx 1 pair hands villain may hold in his starting range.

I think calling 2 streets is ok hoping for showdown but fold river without any reads

His overbet on the river weights him pretty heavy to a 2pair hand or maybe a set. Alternatively some people at these stakes might also spaze out with FD or some stuff, but the board overall isnt coordinated enough to justify a call. Especially at t10/20 it doesnt seem worth to try to pull the hero here.
