Without any specific knowledge about the players at the table, other than the fact that the table has been loose with very little pre-flop raising, I'd guess this player has AA/KK, and possibly AK.

You're ahead in most cases, and are getting 5:1 on his river bet, so I think the call is fine.

I personally would have bet the river. Given that you checked and he called, I would have raised. But mind you, I play the $25 game at Party so I guess I'm more fishing for advice than giving it. What kind of hand did you put him when you just called on the river?

[cornell2005]

why would you think this guy has AA or KK? if anything, i wuold eliminate those two hands

[Richie Rich]

If the guy only had AK, then I could see him calling the hero's flop raise, but not his expensive turn bet. That's why I say AA or KK...think he may have been making a value bet on the river, esp. if he had KK.

What would you put him on?

[BeeKay]

He put him on KK which is why he only called his river bet. However i dont understand how he could possible have KK in this hand. You check raised the flop and i think if he had KK he woulc have Allined over the top. I think its probable 99-JJ here. I think he just may be taking a stab at the river. I am probably wrong these are just my thoughts. Comments or Suggestions?

I don't understand why he bet that amount on the river. If he had KK he would have bet more, probably all-in. He must have somehow put you on a heart draw and when you checked the river he thought his AK was worth a stab.
