I know i don't have a good kicker, but there are so many draws that wasn't completed, and most important yet, I don't block any of them (KJ, JT, any club, etc).

Is this a standard call?
Or should I call like 50/50 to prevent being exploited?

We do block some potential bluffs (KT/JT), but I'm calling with AT here against the shortstacker. It'd be pretty weird for villain to show up with 9x on the river, and it's hard to have AA/AK/AQ with AQ on board and one ace in our hand.

I guess calling here most of the time to split and get our investment back at least. Problem is, u are rarely winning the whole pot here. You are sometimes chopping and sometimes crushed. You lose to AK,AQ, A9, chop with all other Ax and win when you see the occasional bluff (rarely, if ever).

i don't see a ton of bluffs on sb's range. well, you call there and you split the pot at the best scenario. it's up to you, poker stars love catching more rake.
