I wouldn't be playing guessing games if an ugly river fell. I would fold. I was trying to balance wanting a worse hand to play on and protecting my hand at the same time, so I thought calling was the best option.

When someone pushes over what appears to be a really strong holding (given Villian's betting pattern), what weak hands are going to call? I feel like they will fold when behind and call when ahead here.. but perhaps my logic might be coming from a larger scale. What I think makes the hand interesting is that maybe you are right to think he will call the AI with a weak queen when in a battle of the blinds.

To be honest I felt like folding the river and took a long time to call, just because his bet screamed huge hand (boat) or bluff. A small flush/queen would make a value-sized bet here, no?
