Hero?

Pretty sure villain was Russian, no stats or reads otherwise. This hand is pretty straightforward, but the river decision is pretty tough obv, especially considering I'm barely getting 2:1 to call here. Really strong line by villain, I don't see him value betting a hand that I beat, and he really doesn't have any bluffs here either. AK almost always squeezes pre from BB, bet's larger on turn, and would be the best bluff catcher on the river and so wouldn't need to be turned into a bluff with AxKh. I don't see villain leading turn with Kx, so that pretty much rules out all bluffs with the Kh. As for sets, same argument applies as for AK. I think my only option is to make a hero fold here.

im not folding.

Villain can have 6 flushes that beat us(hands including Kh,Qh,Jh,Th) and I don't think its crazy for villain to have 56hh,67hh,57hh plus rarely there are bluffs or overvalued sets.

Getting 2-1 I think its a call

Yeah call readless against that line, expect to see a hand containing naked K enough % of the time.

Snapfold turn though (even raise is better than call), you have reverse implied, no initiative and a player left to act.

Calling pretty easily. If he has the KhXh or something, oh well. We shouldn't have gotten to the turn in the first place. I know we're deep, but we're not getting odds to call off and our flush isn't exactly a great flush.

I mean I guess if we factor in the odd bluff and stupidly played set, then maybe. But if his range is flushes then we beat 3 combos and lose to many, many more combos. And that's assuming that he even c/r's those 3 combos instead of just calling.....

2:1 doesn't seem to me like enough to justify a call given our predicament here. Seems awfully optimistic to think we're not beat.
