River: [Ac] (11.5BB, 3 players)

UTG is unknown, only 15 hands.

CO is bad... 76/11/1.85 with a river AF of 8.0, fwiw, over 70 hands.

What's our river plan?

I c/c as long as there isnt a bet then a call. I think if utg bets I call an unknown for value and notes getting 12.5-1 and Co seems that he could be bluffing enough to call aswell.

I c/c the river.

First of all, I never fold Queens here unless I'm facing 2 bets at some point.

In general, I typically bet out with my hand, even when a scare card hits.
Against 1 opponent, I bet-call this always.
Being out of position against 2 opponents makes value betting a lot harder.

Villain's 8.0 river AF tells us a few things:
- he certainly doesn't call too many rivers
- he probably raises a lot of rivers
- and he likely bets passive rivers with or without the best hand

If these assumptions are true, then betting into this Villain has very little value.
So I see nothing wrong with a check-call.
But I won't fold to 1 bet in this big pot, even if it means overcalling.
