Gutsy call, I don't expect him to value bet A-high but you don't beat many bluffs either. It's hard to say if this is + or - EV without a read but against an unknown, this is more of a fold. Don't post results next time.

Woah that river call is terrible and spewtastic.

What hands do you beat other than a small array of complete trash? Even bluffing hands like Ace high beat you. The worst hand I expect to show up here would be something like AJ or AQ (at least those are the worst hands I would show up here with). I often value bet AK and AQ OOP in spots like these (for about half pot) both as a bluff and also because i expect to get called by a weaker ace sometimes.

If you keep calling in these spots you are burning money, irrespective of what happened in this particular hand.

Considering it's heads up - it's not absolutely horrible in certain situations and given certain reads. A bluff-shove on the river would have been pro though if you think he does bluff/vbet A high or a random pair here, a lot of 8s in his range would have bet that turn (87, 88, 89) and he can't be that strong on the river given the action.

ahh i didn't notice it was heads up.
I don't play heads up so i guess what i wrote above may be disregarded...

still, i can't imagine how that call can be THAT much better in heads up to not make it spew.
