Default Re: River advice needed, party $30/$60.

Hand 1: It's close between calling and folding, but I would call unless you know your opponent pretty well. In general, I don't like folding for one bet heads up on the river against an aggressive opponent.

Hand 2: Must call. I would not be surprised if EP turned over a weak A.

Hand 3: Just how shorthanded is this? 3 players? 6 players? I think this changes the dynamics of this hand quite a bit. In general, I don't like completing in the SB when it's folded to me and generally prefer a raise-or-fold strategy. And if this guy is overaggressive, I wouldn't check-raise the flop either. Unless he's completely stupid, this check-raise will make him fold hands that you would prefer him to keep on bluffing all the way. But anyway, you made it to the river using your strategy and are now debating what to do after he raises. This is a tough situation. He'll have a J here very often and a T some of the time, but you only need him to bluff 1 out of 11 times in order for your call to be correct. So call this one too.
