Top pair on the river

[Gamblor]

6max 15/30 on Prima:

Folded to me in the SB; I have A /images/graemlins/heart.gif T /images/graemlins/spade.gif and raise. BB 3-bets, I call.

Note on the BB: I haven't played with him before, but I haven't seen him get out of line.

2 to the flop (6 SB): A /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I check, BB bets, I call.

2 to the turn (4 BB): (A /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif) Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif

I check, BB bets, I call.

2 to the river (6 BB): (A /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif) 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif

I bet, BB pauses, pauses, pauses, pauses, and raises.

I call.

Who folds?

W/o a read i think i am calling this last bet. you have to be right one in ten here, i think its possible.

i would say he most likely has AJ, which is why he wasnt sure if he should value raise, but other hands are also a possibility.

i think i would call and hate it. either way though, with that pot size, i dont think its + or - EV much either way.

If you can't fold to a raise might it not be better to check/call the river here? I don't quite understand the river bet.

[Trix]

He will check-through too often and he will call little since the board started out twotone and the flush didnt get there.

This aggressive player would bet both the flop and turn with an underpair to try to make me fold, but check behind with a hand like KK.

I can get a call from those hands on the river, but not if I bet at any point.
