Default Darkbet from a bad player

Canterbury 15/30 (9 handed)
Villain here is a fish. He cold-calls with 65o. He takes stabs at protected pots. He is erratic. Not hyper-aggressive/maniacal, but erratic.

old dickhead limps in EP. I raise A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the button. SB folds, villain 3-bets from the BB, dickhead folds, I call.

Flop (HU)(7.67SB)
Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

villain bets, I call

Turn: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
vilain bets, I raise, villain calls

River: T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

villain bets as the card is being turned over, I.......

I'd raise seeing how he can be erratic. What happened on the flop?

I think I'd call this one.

You hate to get three bet, and seeing as he re-raised preflop he proably does have some kind of real hand. AsKs is possible. If he is running some type of bluff with a missed draw/AK, you don't gain any value as he won't call.

I just don't know if you get called often enough by a worse hand to make a river raise profitable.

Are you sure the bet was dark? A lot of times if a player bets while it is being turned over it means he saw the card being turned over. Some seats see the cards a lot sooner than others the way it comes out of the dealers hand.

I was wondering the same thing. Could he have seen that it was a spade?

In any case, this is a clear call, imo.
