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.

Folding is obviously not an option. Raising doesn't seem any good either. Your avatar makes me want to vomit.

It is stolen from Klepton. It makes me laugh every time I see it. If you've ever met Jason_T, you'd laugh too.
