Villian is 26-4.4-1.o after only 45 hands, which seems inconclusive to me. I see an unknown C/R the turn here with an A, but his bet on the river confused me. Should I give him credit for the flush and simply call?

Or a slow played Ace, or a slowplayed boat, or a rivered boat. Gay.

I think villian is either leading an ace, a flush, or a bluff.

Probably not the ace, so its either flush or a bluff.

If he's got teh flush, raising sucks.

If its the bluff on a scare card, raising doesn't make sense as he's folding to it.

I don't see him leading a weak pair, b/c he would just want cheap showdown value, thus a check/call on river.


Also villian's aggression factor is weak 1.0. Maybe if that was higher and you had read on opponent to lead weak hadns and still call raise, I would agree with your line on river.

a raise on the river is terrible.

nothing that beats you is calling and you are getting 3-bet a lot.

Do you really think that he's leading out with an 8?

The question you should be asking is whether or not to even call the bet, which you should against most opponents, but I can't imagine ever raising.
