Default Fold to the river raise

EP2 is loose. Table is typical party. Oh, did I mention that EP2 is loose.

Party Poker 2/4 (10 handed)
Hero has Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and is BB

EP1 limps, EP2 limps, MP2 limps, Button folds, SB folds, Hero checks

Flop(4 1/2 SB): 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero checks, EP1 bets, EP2 calls, MP2 folds, Hero raises, EP1 calls, EP2 calls

Turn(5 1/4 BB): A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero bets, EP1 folds, EP2 calls

River(7 1/4 BB): 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero bets, EP2 raises.....

I should fold here, right?

I would call. You're getting 10.25:1 to call. Though you described EP2 as loose, you didn't describe him as passive, which may tip this toward a fold.

I'm calling here and expecting to lose; though I'm pretty sure you'll be pleasantly surprised more than the requisite 10% of the time needed to make this call profitable.

In short: crying call.

Anyone else?

This may be one of those rare instances where a river check/call may be in order. A value bet is not automatic where there's an overcard, a 3-flush and a one-card straight draw. And you may even induce a bluff if you're ahead getting that one bet anyway. Regardless, you get to see a showdown with this play. And this would be especially true against a loose player who may very well show you a 5 in addition to spades.
