Yeah, as mentioned in another thread, these stupid river overbets are annoying. It's always either a really strong hand or a complete whiff on a draw. Given that there weren't any draws, this is either a maniac with AK or he's got a flush or KK. I think folding is probably correct

I don't like flatting pre, but whatever.
Probably raise flop.
As played, fold river. It should be KK or a flush. You can have quads and flushes of your own (as you can float the flop with hands like AJss/JTss), and can overfold to such a huge bet.

I call. He has Kx/AA/87s/86s, bluffs are a thing, I mean come on we have trips and our perceived range is a bunch of PP maybe some Ax we're never calling river with anything and we beat some value bets. Assuming some NL2 player can't value cut himself or make a stupid bluff is a weird thing to assume.

Fold is not ridiculous, looks somewhat close but folding trips is not the secret to beat NL2, if we try to dodge any cooler we'll fold way too much. We at least need to know for sure V is a nit or something, for all we know this might be Doodoopoker taking this line with any Asx combo...
