Default what to do on the river?

party 10/20 6-max

folded to you on the button and you open raise with AKo. The SB, a tight aggressive winning player, three-bets, BB folds, you cap, SB calls. The SB would probably three-bet here with any hand he would play, but wouldn't play many in this spot (i.e., usually folds if he has nothing but plays aggressively when he does play).

Flop Q-T-6 rainbow. SB checks, you bet, he raises, you three-bet, he caps, you call.

Turn 4. He bets, you call.

River 5. He bets. Now what? Comments appreciated.

I would have merely called the flop CR and folded the turn. Your pair outs are very suspect, so I'm not crazy about committing that much money when you are in no way guaranteed of a free card on the turn.

The only hands I could see you beating on the river are AJ or KJs, with AJ pretty unlikely given your read on this guy. With 8.5bb in there, calling can't be a huge mistake, but I still lean toward a fold.

It's too late to fold. I make that 11.5BB in there on the river Zele.
But I agree that you overplayed your hand on the flop.
Just call his raise and then it is pretty close between folding the turn and calling him down. I would probably call him down with somewhere between 4 and 10 outs if we are behind and some chance that we are not.
Maybe you could check behind on the flop? That could scare him

You are quite correct. Not sure what I was thinking.

why? what hand would he fold that you beat? I can assure you that he's not trying to make an amazing laydown here.

well obviously you are thinking of calling the river, so if you raise, he he'll fold all hands that you beat or if he was bluffing, but he might also fold AK. plus he'll never think of your play in the same way again. i just don't know what calling this river accomplishes.

of course i would probably fold as first option

Whether or not I'm tight aggressive is debatable, but if I were your opponent, I couldn't see myself taking this line with a hand that you beat. I would fold.
