Villian is 31/15 over 59 hands
Multitabling reg.
Is villian playing AKxx this way?
We can only beat a missed str8 draw.
We play our hand a little bit passiv on turn.
Crying call on the river here?

Well you have to decide if villain is going to bluff 3 ways OTT or bet for value/ protection with a lot of worse 2p combos and follow through on the river a lot. Having nut spades and QQ blocks some of his stronger semi bluffs too

59 hands is enough to tell villain is a reg?

Against a true reg I think you can actually make a fold here since villain will mostly not be putting too much stock in bluffing but also will just make standard solid plays like seeing showdowns with weak 2pair. AK is very squarely in villain's range.

Against someone more unknown or fishier you're running into the "I can't win by checking" and "I bet because I have the best hand" mentality more often so I prefer a call.

Preflop 3bet. You block too many (strong) draws for me to justify calling river. QQ blocks QJT, as well as your 9 blocks straight draws. Obv nutflushdraw also blocked so I fold here. KK is live, AK kinda is. Plus he would have to semi bluff into 2 tight ranges, so fold.

It's generally poor theory to bluff catch when you hold a decent chunk of V's bluffing range in your hand

If V's competent he's not going to have that many bluffs here and he's rarely shoving river with worse 2p. I'd doubt that even if he was shoving river with worse 2p here, he'd be doing it at a high enough frequency to make the call profitable

If he's a fish yolo call and find out

Looks like a pretty interesting spot..

We do block a part of villains semi bluff range on turn but I also think we're capped on turn and pretty much at the top of our range on this river. What better hand are we going to have in this spot?

After MP and hero check turn, it does seem like a good spot for BTN to stab. MP isn't c/r a set here, or c/c a counterfeit 2pair, and hero is potting sets and AK I think? So I can definitely see BTN having some sd:cc hand, or even turning a K9, 6789 type hand into a bluff given the way the hand played out.

We block a set of 9s, set of ks prob rips it in on flop and I'm curious about his betsize on turn so I call..

Kinda want to fold here if he's a solid reg. Think he has AKxx here majority of the time. Would he turn AJTx into a bluff here? I think sets gii on the flop and AJTx maybe with spades wouldn't be very surprising or what?

After MP check on turn, you should definitely

either bet or check raise BTN.I can not see really

MP having AK on river after not betting or raising turn.

Only 44xx with spades makes sense. Martin1979 i read

Some previous post of yours where you resigned from poker.

Are you back in the game
