alright i usually dont like to do this (and its usually bad when people post hands like this so hopefully i can be an exception ), but i thought stacks worked out well cause i dont think hed think im bluffing. villian is kind of a new face at the 100s, i dont think he'll stick, but hes trying to play winning poker and game select so hes at least thinking a little bit. reads are is that hes a little bit nitty, standard below average abc i guess. i think his sizing is pretty clear that he has me beat so a call is terrible i think. i think i can push him off a weak king just based on sizing but im not certain. i also see him having a7 a bit. i think he can also play pairs between 7 and k like this. also, i dont think hes ever betting small to induce, hes not clever in his lines. they mean what they look like ftmp.

first instinct is that you hate this guy

If i was this guy i don't see this line as strong. Never (not on this board)

But again i'm not playing your stakes, dynamics there have to be different.

Instead if i were you i would raise river, strong, (but not that kind of overbet), he hasn't been too aggresive so far, and he bets small, i Dont see a top pair top kicker playing this way, your bluff will work lots of times if he's playing abc poker.

But interesting hand nevertheless.

yeah im only doing this because i dont think hes an awesome hand reader, would never really do this vs a good reg cause i dont think theyre folding any k ever but eh. (esp vs me cause im super super bad spewy.)

also, pd, i dont hate him, i dont really know him at all. its true i hate everyone right now though, (boo downswing)

fold pre

c/f river

Hero is not repping much on river, at least not enought hands to make a TP type lay down.

Joe, you're really repping thin. Even if you've got this guy's mindset and sizing tells figured out, I'd prefer your move, if make it you must, when the river's a spade or like a 9. Give him a more visible threat to worry about -- you want him thinking "Dammit, the flush got there!" and not "What the hell can he have? Let me think about it."

He needs only pause for a bit and consider the sorts of hands your actions represent that beat his 7x/88-QQ/discounted Kx/misc. on this particular river to realize that very few of them make sense given your total line -- and then he sees missed spades on top of that! And maybe even realizes that his bet of less than 1/2 pot 'looks weak-ish.'

It depends how logical/ballsy you think he is. I think really, his turn bet is too small for you to expect him to bet river a big %, so I don't think it's a particularly convincing play for value. That won't stop some people from laying down 100% of their range here, though.

I would fold pre.

As played, hero's line doesn't look very strong, and doesn't rep much. Given the range we've put him on, I don't see him folding here.

Don't like it tbh. Don't think he will bet A7 on river much if he is any decent at hand reading,since T8/T9/T6 is a decent part of your range. Also he might fold bad K ,just because he is a nit that doesn't see that K3=AK here,but might not fold some good K's especially that the flush draw missed.

If I was villain, I'd think all you're repping is a low two pair that got there after c/c-ing turn and river. Its a tough sell, but ime it works a lot of the time against unthinking players. If he has a weak king I see him giving it up almost blindly a lot of the time. To reformulate, I agree that you're not repping a whole lot, but I disagree that this line rarely works (against just a pair of kings) in this spot against an sub par abc reg.
