I think you misplayed this hand preflop and on the turn...but that being said and done, it was still a good value bet on the river and you should call, although you are most likely beat, to see what your opponent holds and take this information further into the game <font color="red"> </font>

yes and no. yes, you should call. no because its not for information.

you're calling because of what the c'r looks like. for example, when i have AK and 3bet a tight players raise from the sb and the flop is A22 and i bet the flop and the turn is a 5 and i bet again and the river comes another 5 i'll check. the reason is because this tight player does NOT have KK/QQ/AA/JJ b/c he didn't cap pf. he has AQ-AT. he can't know that i dont have those hands so when i check he'll bet and i'll raise. most of the time i do that he'll still call with his weaker ace.

now despite the cap (which bk will do with virtually any hand he'll raise with from that position) mike bets the flop and the turn and is called on both streets. but now if he has 77 or 66 or 88 or whatever a middle pair is there that doesn't match up w/ the board including TT i think, he can check raise bk off of a better hand enough of the time since he's such a good player that bk should call.

so yes, he should call. but no, not for information.
