Hi guys.
Was the value bet on the river here acceptable? I was hoping he was calling me down with AQ or something but later realised he would have 3bet me pre with AQ usually so he must have had two pairs or a set to be calling me down my aggression.
Unfortunately, I can't use PT4 on FTP mac so I didn't have stats on him during the play.

Thanks.

So sorry! Didn't mean to post this on the small stakes forum. Please move this to the microstakes forum!

you played it fine, bet turn a bit bigger

Hey, this is a pretty standard hand except for river. I know on the river when he raises you here is likely ur beat, however I dont think you should fold KK on the river against some random person. when your beat he doesnt have many 2 pairs, but he can any set except QQ, and 33. and he could have A2 of diamonds and clubs. but he could be bluffing with a flush draw (diamonds or clubs), he might turn a hand like 66 or 77 or 88 into a bluff, people at low stakes play really wierd. Its a ugly spot and i dont fault you for folding, in this instant i would not be surprised if you made the right desicion against his exact hand, but IMO in the long run i think in this stake calling river is more +ev.

Fold is good just look at the equity you need to call river. Doubt you have enough vs villain's line.

I don't think it's even close
