villain is 31.58/10.53/.65

My plan here, is it to simply call, raise/call, or raise fold?

Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $10/$20
5 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with
2 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6SB, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn: (4BB, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: (4BB, 2 players)
SB bets, Hero ???

I call.

I think this is pretty close between all 3 options. My first instinct was to raise/call since he could have alot more than just a flush or K9 here but then I looked at his AF and hes pretty passive so I think its c/c>r/f>r/c.

I was so confused, but then I realized the flush hit. I call cuz ISAP, but I would rather raise/fold, in theory.

a raise/fold is just a really bad line here imo.

Villains can do the weirdest thing with two pair, a set, a retarded misread of A9, or an interpretation of my line thinking that I may be bluffing and will 3bet.

granted passives generally don't tend to do that but there are really weird lines passives will take when you piss em off.

That's very true. The interesting thing about passives, is their river AF is usually quite high. Of course, that's a function of folding a lot of rivers when they miss, or call down the turn light, etc, but I also find that the passive types love to slowplay to the river.

Our hand is good enough to warrant a raise on the river.

And since OP is an aggressive player, there is a chance that even a passive villain will 3bet with less than a Straight here.
He may have been passively slowplaying his 44 (set) or QJ (2pair) and could easily think it is still ahead and worth a 3bet.

I raise-call.
