This is an auto-fold... unless your opponent is some spewy donk (I couldn't find the post where you talked about him in the Low Content Thread).Seriously, you are *only* beating a bluff, and all the obvious draws got there after you pot-raised the flop an continued on the turn. It would take some crazy history with this opponent for me to consider calling here.

I like preflop , flop and turn.River is a fold because of the reasons Merby explained.

I think the only way you can do that is if you have history with him and feel that he could make a decent laydown, like a flush or straight figuring that you filled up when the board paired.

Ya, it would have to be serious, documented, footnoted and peer reviewed history for him to be river donking that card as a bluff.What worse hands call, or better hands fold, to a river all in?

That's a horrible idea. It turns a hand which still has showndown value into a pure bluff.
