UTG folds, Hero raises, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (8 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero raises, MP2 calls, SB calls, BB 3-bets, Hero calls, MP2 calls, SB calls.

Turn: (10 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero raises, MP2 folds, SB folds, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

River: (16 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Is it best to call or raise again on this river card?

Do you really think you just counterfeited J6?

I would just call. He 3-bet the flop against a preflop raise and 2 cold-callers and 3-bet the turn when the Ace came. I think he can beat your AK.

So would you fold river or play turn different?

Raising would be a poker crime. It's looks like you're beat (either by a full house, trip 3s, or aces-up), but you must make a crying call given the size of the pot.

You know, it may not be such a bad idea to let it go on the flop. Your K and A outs may already be shot by the time BB 3-bets.

See what refusing to fold your hand after this terrible flop action got you on the turn. Now you don't want to fold, don't want to call, don't want to face another 3-bet.

For christ's sake, don't raise the river.

Thanks for the replies.

I think maybe just calling the turn would be best.

To not even think about a river raise.

Results below:
BB has 6s Jd (two pair, jacks and sixes).
Hero has Kd As (two pair, aces and threes).
Outcome: Hero wins 18 BB.

I like the turn raise, since it's very likely you're best and there are 2 players to act behind you. A river raise would definitely be overboard. You wouldn't even be asking if he didn't show J6

This guy hasn't slowed down. He's got you beat. Call.

16 BB in the pot, I don't think folding is an option.

No, no. Maybe I might not raise the turn... nah, I would.
