Call or fold?

Fold.

[JeanieJ]

Easy fold.

I don't like how you played this hand on any streets. Short handed playing suited Ax is okay, but calling a raise with it is pretty iffy in my book.

Betting the flop serves no purpose. You're charging yourself for a draw that you're not likely to hit. Fold the flop, but most of all I would fold preflop.

Preflop is only calling a mini-raise, not bad especilly if Villain is often making this raise.

The flop lead debatable, if you think you have folding equity here it's not bad, it also disguises your hand. I really like it if the J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif was a 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

I don't like the turn bet but it worked perfectly against this opponent. You kept yourself in the hand and probably have implied odds if you hit the hand.

River: Not sure what to put Villain on with the turn call but I probably fold here.

[fuzzbox]

its not really an overbet. Its a tough one though, because its hard to put villain on a hand here that plays that way (other than diamonds).

If he has only diamonds, then you are ahead.
I suppose K/images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ/images/graemlins/diamond.gif is possible.

AJ maybe. Real hard here. I dunno. I might call.

[MTBlue]

Bet this river. He'll call with more hands than he'll bet with and if he raises your river bet you can easily fold. As it is flip a coin between calling and folding this river. Can't tell if its an ugly bluff/ some donk with thinks his kk is good or a decent player with 2 pair+/ donk with AK who called you down.
