Default Do you take a different line on the river

No real reads on villan other than semi-loose and calls down too much.

The river [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] sucks but why would he shut out the field on the flop with a draw, but then again he he holds something like A2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] getting a better ace to fold is good for him. He just doesn't play good enough to try and put a solid read on him.

On the river he will call with many hands I beat, but I don't think I should be folding to a raise. So what's the best play?

Bet call is the best play. You need to get value from worse hands. You can't fold to a raise in a damn huge pot.

I would have just check called river.

Even though his river raise sucks I think you have to call just because of the pot size.

Checking the river is a weak play. We must not fear a flush just because its a possibility. Villain will hold a worse hand he'll call with more often than a flush.

Exactly and I hope to see Q10 here a decent amount or maybe 7x that he decided to wait for the river to pop (though less likely).

I probably would have weakie-tighted here, but I like the way you played it. Now, I must go back to reading the River Play stuff in SSHE LOL.
