Thoughts on this line? Villain was only in for additional buy in and isn't that aggro but things are early so who knows. Do people here bet turn instead?

WTF at river?

somehow the zeebo theorem is at play here.

i have no idea if you're getting zeebowned or if he's zeebowning himself.

I fold prob. I also generally give too much credit. Interesting spot imo.

I just don't see him bluffing here ever given preflop. Villan is wearing clown shoes and probably has KK / AA

Those were my thoughts on this particular one. I mean, nobody tries to bluff someone off a full house and any worse pair he has either bets river or check calls.

looks like a standard donk play to me by someone with AA not knowing how to get value post flop. If not that, hes got AK/KK imo.

this is so ****ing weird and so badly played by villain

I'll be willing to bet my br he has KK... still such a sick spot, and 6handed... ugh.

fold imo
you had to have cracked up after seeing this played out...

Edit: That or the best float in FTP history

I think betting the turn is viable, I'm not sure if it's better than checking though as played thus far. This is a really weird river spot, and my policy has always been that if I can't figure out how his line makes any sense with anything, to call....buuuut

Basically this is how I feel also.
