What range of hands do you put villain on the river?

Ew this guy has a PFR of 2.9? Missed that the first time around. 2.9 would include AK in his PFR range though, right? He would definitely raise AA or KK.

A lot of players will raise AK but won't 3bet it. AK is definitely a possibility here.

I think just calling is the way to go against an unknown. BB's flop 3bet indicates that he has at least a pair of aces, and since he led the river, he's either a total moron or just filled up. I don't think we can count on him being a total moron.

Think about the possible reasons he might donk the river. AK and KJ both improved, but not a huge amount. KJ isn't as likely given the stats. A more likely holding is any A/face. She donks the river because her kicker just got bigger. Also, AK and KJ are more likely to ch/r the river here given the turn action. I think I raise is right here.

So are a lot of hands - Villain called a raise from the BB, that's not exactly a tight range. Also, the really strong hands will check-raise here as Hero has shown he really likes his hand already and the K isn't really a truly scary card for an aggressive player like our Hero (if villain is observant/thinking).

This is 100% player dependent. Some players like to donk it, others will CR.

True. But consider the hands with which he might donk the river. Now look at the subset of those which 3-bet the flop. He isn't doing that with just a pair of kings. So he's either messing around on the river, or filled up. Since his PT stats are pretty tight/fairly passive, I'd say he filled up more often than not.

I think you have to take into account that many players (even those whose stats are not over-agressive) overplay their hands when they're defending from a "button steal". I think it's a clear raise on the river, as I could see a player with any ace play the hand the same way.
