Call the river?
 
$2/$4 NL at Party. No read at all on villain. We both have $400 stacks.

2 limpers and I limp on the button with QJs. Both blinds are in.

The pot is $20. The flop is KT6. It gets checked around.
The turn is a 9. Checked to MP who bets $18. I raise to $60 and he calls.

Pot $140. The river is another 6 and he leads for $100. Do you call?

Yes -

if he limped with TT (or 99) and filled up, well, [censored] happens.

EDIT - to change from yes to probably - if he is tricky/loose than yes I call (loose enough to play 6xs) - if he is ABC straightforward / weak-tight I MIGHT give him credit for a boat and fold.

I think this is a fairly standard call.

Easy call. The real question is whether you call or reraise. I would min raise just to mess with him. 1) I doubt he filled up, so I'd be good, 2) he's probably got K 10 or K 9 and hates laying it down and 3) if he does fold, it will eat him alive that he folded to a min raise. I realize that a lot of people would prefer to flat call for variety of reasons (risk of the FH, bluff all in by villian, etc), but I like min raising here.

Yes, call the river.

Raising accomplishes nothing here. He will raise/call with a better hand (or a chop) and will fold a worse one. I can't see KT or K9 calling versus hero's aggression thus far and a river raise, particularly on a paired and straight-possibility board.

Raising stinks.

I would definitely call here. I would think that you're ahead much of the time. Don't raise.

raise flop

edit: do you ever think to raise preflop here? I sometimes with 400 behind, with 600 or more behind, I probably raise >80% of the time.
