Fold without read, there are better spots to put your money in at NL2. I wonder what he have however, badly slow played two pairs or set? Loose played over cards with an ace he shoves hoping you call? A few missed draws also, but not enough to make a call profitable imho.

Im thinking the shove on the river is a pure bluff based on the sizing and how the hand has been played up to this point.

Hero folds. Axdd just got there. and there are better spots to play bluff catcher.

Villain has to be bluffing like 35% of the time to make this breakeven.

no reads that he makes massive river bluffs A LOT = yer gambling bigtime with this call.

This is 2NL, villain assumes you checking gives him the license to bet 100% of the time. How bad is a 3 barrell/fold here?

you can't fold after 3 barreling, more like 3barrel shove if you're going to do it at all
