Villian seems to be an alright player, if a little loose pre-flop and aggro post-flop.

Thoughts (other than bet the flop heh - thought he might bet turn and river with smaller pair).

Raise the river, 120-180 seems good.

How much is in the pot on the river?

Re: 3/6 NL - Blind battle
 

Edited for pot size. What range of hands do you put Villian on here?

Re: 3/6 NL - Blind battle
 

These stakes are over my head, but in general I think I call and expect a worse two pair. The 8 only seems to help 64 or J9, but even those hands are making a pretty bad turn call when you raise their semi-bluffs. He's probably raising any PP that makes a set (except maybe 55 and 77) preflop. T7, T8 seem most likely.

TPGK, worse two pair, 64, set. I think its worse two pair often enough to make a value raise.

btw - calling is fine.

Re: 3/6 NL - Blind battle
 

I like a call here on the river and I don't mind the flop check.

I expect you will win often against a worse two pair, but it looks like 46 as well. Hmm, maybe there is value in a river raise, just a small one.

Meh. To me this is so razor thin to raise the river. Maybe it's a leak in my game?!? But, when faced with a situation like this I'll just call 98% of the time. I figure I'd be happy to get $60 from villian on the river. That he bet it into me instead of c/c'ing is like arguing over semantics.

Re: 3/6 NL - Blind battle
 

What possible hands will he call a river raise from me? Worse two pair? If so, what two pair? T8?
