Default How do you play the river?

Villain has only been at the table for 20 hands, but has seemed passive over that time.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (8 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn: (5.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button folds, SB calls.

I call, if he sucked out on you, he sucked out on you...you have top two pair. I find more often than not if a person hit a flush or straight on the river and I had been leading the whole way, I get check raised. You'll win this 1 in 8 times to be profitable.

Obviously not folding... considering raising.

Default Re: How do you play the river?

Hands that beat you:
AT: 16 but discounted because he would have to have called the flop and turn with a gutshot and overcard
Ac8c: 1
some other club combination: 3-5 (discounted for hanging in on the flop with a backdoor draw)

Hands you beat that just improved:
KJ: 6
KT: 8
AK: 8 (probably more like 6 since he'd be more likely to reraise with AKs)

I'd say you might have room for a raise, but if Villain actually is passive, then calling would be fine. 20 hands isn't much of an indicator though.

I wish I could raise here but I'm so used to seeing a random RR flush that called w/some pair on the flop that I just can't see raising being right. DO you really want to fold to a 3 bet?
