MP raises to $15
I fold

Thought about checking the river, but decided to bet since smaller pairs might call. After getting raised to $15 I considered making it $40 as a bluff. I would pretty much be representing 99 or maybe 5x. My range isn't capped, but his might be since he checked the flop. Not sure if he would slow play a fullhouse here, but I feel like he would probably take this line with AK, AQ, or AJ. Those hands might make some hero folds to a river re-raise.

Also the guy is Russian. So yeah.

Not a fan of 3b bluffing this river. Don't think you have much if any 5's in your range and even if you did you're not 3betting it for value once raised. Villains range isn't capped, and IMO stronger than yours. He can certainly have 99 AA AK that checked back flop. The only thing he can't have is 5x. Sounds weak but I'd prefer cc or cf river expecting him to bluff or value bet the river A a lot.

Not really sure why you're betting this river. His range is good Ax or hands that can't call.

pretty safe flop, I'd open the clip. River is ugly, but as played I'd c/c.

Betting riv ain't good. Xcalling riv prob ain't good either. Raising river isn't bad both after checking and betting but it prob ain't good at fullring

since his russian, just call.

c/f

Flop is dry enough he can float the turn comfortably with Ax, but I expect most players to bet value hands otf, and cbet wide. So his check-behind range is limited to total air or he's crushing the board. Floating turn and raising river with air is insanity. I expect him to show with a 5 or fh a lot.

That River is a pretty easy x/f, but if you wanna bet... I prefer bet something like 1/3 pot, that way this kind of people feels much comfortable calling us with worse hands. You can consider it

This is how I might look at it
