Betting Into Passive Caller

[hblask 1]

Villain has shown a couple bluffs, but the table is generally passive. What do you think of my play here, and do I call the river?*************************************8Poker StarsLimit Holdem Ring gameLimit: $0.50/$15 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $11.75CO: $15.50Button: $22.70SB: $37hblask: $21.10Pre-flop: (5 players) hblask is BB with K 7 2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, hblask checks.Flop: 4 K T (3SB, 3 players)SB bets, hblask raises, Button calls, SB calls.Turn: J (4.5BB, 3 players)SB checks, hblask bets, Button calls, SB calls.River: 5 (7.5BB, 3 players)SB checks, hblask bets, Button raises, SB folds, hblask???

Well, his line suggests that he is strong. However, since he is a frequent bluffer, a call is in order here.

Agreed.His cold-call on the flop could represent great strength.But hopefully it only means a draw.The river raise suggests we are behind.But without a specific read that Villain never bluff raise, I call down 1 bet with Top Pair.You don't have such a read.So it's an easy call.--CM
