Villain leads weak on river.....

[boondockst]

Reasonable stats (31/14/2.33) Stacked him with 99 on a 2392 against his AK....I'm still ahead of KT or QT here..can't figure he'd call on the turn with AJ/J9

He's shown weakness all the way, and if you stacked him with unpaired AK he can't be too bright.

I'm raising to $10(half his remaining stack) and making some money. You're ahead 90% of the time here I think. If he got lucky, so be it.

[Atropos]

It seems to me that these "sudden out of the blue" bets nearly always mean something. If it means QTo or KTo good for you. Besides these too hands I dont see a worse hand call you. I think raising is worse than calling here, since you nearly cant fold if he reraises you all-in.

[boondockst]

$3 into a $25 pot though? Is he begging for a raise?

[Allinlife]

he's begging for cheap showdown most of the time
raise to 1/2 the pot and you can probably fold a to a reraise

[boondockst]

He had an unbelievable Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif J/images/graemlins/spade.gif for an incredible suckout and the small river bet made me just call, fearing the worst...Is this just a rare situation?

[DoubleDown]

not sure how important these following points are, but others can elaborate either way if they choose

I'd raise more Preflop. have heard 3XBB + 1BB/caller thrown out quite a bit.

I would have raised the flop a little more ... your bet was almost pricing him in to see a flush/str8 draw (if he was on diamonds or JT, etc.) ... I think when you raised it was about $3 back to him into a pot of ~$9. too minor of a point, perhaps?
