AJs. Reraise this river?

I only have a few hands on villian but he's very loose and passive preflop and aggressive postflop. Don't know if he's tricky though but I assume that he likes to slowplay.

What's your river line after the raise?

Check/raise the river IMO. Yes I would raise here though.

3-bet and call the cap. There are lots of ways for him to have worse hands (trip tens, weaker flush, straight) and not as many ways for him to have a better hand (boat).

Reraise/call the river.

Personally I like the river lead, just in case villain was raising the turn for a free showdown with a 9 or Q.

Yeah this is what you should do.

If you do decide to donk it, you are doing so with the intention of 3-betting. You can't afford to lead out and then say WTF when you get raised. If you don't feel comfortable 3-betting the river....don't bet. Check/raise and call a 3-bet if it comes.

grunching...

I'm raising this river. Its possible that villian picked up a straight on the turn which became a second best hand to a backdoor flush on the river. He might have also been waiting to raise the turn with his trip tens which is a popular play on a flop like that.
