3/6 River Decision against a LAG

[casinogosain]

I've been at the table for about 5 orbits, and am down about half a buy-in. I keep making second best hands. Villain is about 75/0 from what I gather over the limited number of hands.

I think call/raise/fold each have their merits.

Fold has no place in this discussion. I call in general, though there are some (doesn't sound like you have much of a read) against whom it's an easy raise.

Although I'd be comfortable folding to a 3-bet if I raised the only hands I think he plays this way that I beat and that pay off a raise are K10 and KQ so I'd call here.

Folding is out of the question in this big of a pot. Given you have a limited number of hands on this guy I would not feel comfortable raising and folding to a 3 bet. 70 VPIPers can do some donkish things.

I would call.

Folding is very bad.

This river is a call for me. I really want to put him on KQ, but that's about tthe only thing you're beating that bets into you on all three streets. A weak two pair hand might play this way, and some players will go ahead and semibluff the turn with a flush draw. I think raising this river is spewage.

I guess nobody considered folding - and I honestly didn't at the time either. I also thought that raising was spewing at the time, but it is now clear to me (based on this player) that raising was the right move.

Do we have a term for raising every street in turn?

I called and was shown 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The mind boggles.
