Villain is 36/4/3.8 over 66 hands. I am so confused by his line, but I don't think I can call here. It just doesn't seem like he has a king. What do you guys think?

damn, that's a weird line... I can't see him checking 3 streets w/ a King either... I think when we are beat here it's by sets and maybe 24s/47s...

That agression is pretty high which would lead me to believe something is suspect. I don't mind the fold at all, although I find myself calling here often.

Both your turn and river bets were really lite. Your line kind of shows weakness, and I think villain decided to steal.

I think he's either stealing, or he has a boat. And since player at the microstakes are not particularly likely to have the third-level deep thinking skills required for playing back at you in this way, I'd bet he has a boat.

Level one thinkers overbet their monsters....they don't usually try to check them down.....especially on the river.

Something's not right here...you've checked the flop and made a very small bet on the turn. Your line does not look especially strong. Why would villain think that you're betting the river? It's pretty rare to see a villain check/check/check with a set, especially when OOP and against an opponent who has only bet one street. I don't buy it, I'm calling.

call, anythin strong he would have c/r the turn,
and would probably have lead a K on the turn unless its very weak

+1

gotta keep in mind that those weak ass bets can easily induce villain to play back so you have to be prepared to call down somewhat lighter when you make those bets.
