    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.

    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
