Villain 23/14/3.0 over only 30 hands, stealing a decent amount. Not seen anything special of him.
Basically questions are if you like c/ring the river and what your river decision is after villain 3bets it.

I thought his river betting is range is a lot wider than his calling range, you don't agree?

if this is what you thought, then you should c/c, not c/r.

This.

And I don't think his betting range is wider than his calling range... why do you think that? I think all his range except slowplayed boats/trips will check behind river. I also think you're never getting bluffraised by this guy on this river, so easy bet/fold.

I think his most likely hands are weakish made hands. Those are much likely to call a bet than bet. Now it just looks like he ginned the flop or bdoor-ed a flush.

Nvm, at the time I thought villain had a decent amount of Ax in his range. But now I'm looking at it again those should be cbetting a lot and the rest of his range is checking behind the river.

I folded to his river raise without really worrying about it. He showed the floped nuts so I got a nice read for free.

I guess betting river would be a close bet/call?

If you're thinking about c/r river, you have to consider his b/CALL range and not just his betting range.

A c/r is good in a spot where he has a lot of worse thands that will b/c, which isn't the case here.

You can argue that he might bluff the K, which could make it closer between betting and c/c. He might also try repping spades if you check. But in general, he rarely has worse hands that will b/c here, so just bet yourself. It's not like he's gonna b/c KJ here or something.

He might even check back KJ/AK sometimes, but call a bet himself.

Does anyone think this is a good spot to overbet the river?

Villains line looks weakish like pot control, but I feel like overbetting the river doesn't really reduce his calling range and if anything gets more value out of a K or something like 99 that thinks lol you don't have a Q. It may also have the added bonus of making a passively played rivered straight think twice about putting you in a meh spot by raising, depending on how passive villain is.

You could do this with a hand like full houses, QJ, any straight, maybe even AK although a smaller value bet would maybe make more sense here since it's then harder for villain to have a K.

Really not arguing about the river line, but I do think you guys are giving a pretty unknown 25NL a lot of respect.

At what point, when he reraises river? Would he reraise a straight or trips vs a river c/r, which is pretty rare at 25nl, on a paired, 3 flush board? Or would he flat your c/r? I'd think he'd flat. I know we don't have a lot of information or hands on this villain but a river c/r gives even a semi-aware villain information about the strength of your hand.

I mean, to even think about calling this, you'd need a read that he either makes crazy decisions or overvalues the strength of a straight or trips on this board vs a river c/r.

Plus if you at least had a hand like AsXs, QsJs or Qs9s then we can start adding smaller backdoor flushes to villains range.

What do you expect him to call a CR with that you beat? If you don't have a good answer here, then you should be betting. Especially with how the hand played, betting > then C/R.

As said, I'm not talking about my line, but in general I think this villain is given a lot of respect.

I.e. in my opinion if I'd bet the river instead of c/r, and would then face a raise a call would at least be close to a fold because I definately can't rule out all Q's, worse flushes, straight, some K's even and general spew. I see so many undefinable plays at 25NL and 50NL that giving too much respect with a hand that's in the top of your range feels kinda dirty.

Yes we are giving this player a lot of respect. Just because hes playing NL25/50 doesn't automatically mean hes a drooler. This is more of a specific hand rather than judging the play as a whole to all NL 25 players. You already said he was running decent stats that would indicate he at least has half a brain, looks like he might have bought in full, and you said hes aggressive on the steals.

I do agree that a C/C or B/F or maybe even B/C if its small enuff. I think we need a better read to think that hes coming over the top of a CR with worse.
