Default Re: Easy call?

[ QUOTE ]
River is a duece. Hero bets half pot, villain raises. Now why would villain do this? He certainly doesn't have KK/QQ now. Since he checked the turn and given his donkish play preflop I give him credit for AA and a very slight AKo/s hand. I am destroyed against one and the other I don't believe is very likely.

Villain does this because Hero has shown no strength at all in this hand; he called the 2 PF raises, called on the flop, checked the turn and is now 1/2 pot'ing the river. Is villain really going to believe that a weak unsuited deuce somehow helped Hero's hand enough that a 1/2 PSB is now worthwhile?

To villain this looks a lot like a bluff with a busted straight draw or some badly played overcards that missed.
