River value bet?
 

Villain is decent. In another hand, I had 33. He raises PF, I call. Flop comes 9 high rainbow with a 3. I check, he checks. Turn A, I bet pot he calls. River I bet pot he calls. He has AK. He chose to bring that hand up right before this, saying "you must be a real good poker player to hit that set of 3's".

Probably, most decent villains are not going to check that river with the queen.

Yes go ahead and bet.

Well you said villan is decent so is he paying off with two pair?

A 7 check calls here.

A 7 here is almost impossible.

Well, that's the issue isn't it.

Re: River value bet?
 

I like a small blocker and folding to a raise. Like 60-90. If you think he'll check-raise with two-pair, you might have to call.

I think you should blocker it, but I don't think I have the guts to.

He has position, so it cannot be a blocker bet. Only betting for value here.
