    Default Set versus check-raise push on the river. Deepststacked

    Hello,
    This is my first post and I hope this question is not too standard. Sorry that I don't have a normal handyhistory.


    Villian is a calling station. Calls with toppair no kicker all streets. I have no stats. Villian has minraised preflop with all kind of hands.

    6 max nl 100 but only 4 players at the moment.

    Hero has 155 BB and villian covers me.

    Hero is button and has

    Preflop:

    Villian raises to 2$, Hero calls, all other players fold.

    Flop
    Pot 5.5$
    villian bets 2$, hero raises to 6$, villian calls

    Turn 17.5$
    :Jc:
    Hero bets 12$, Villian calls.

    River 41.5$

    Hero bets 25$, villian pushes.

    My betsizes on flop and turn are too small. But should I call this river check-raise? And bet more on the river?

    I think you mean QT zenbitz. Q7 wouldn't beat anything here.

    You are 1.83:1 on this river call. If he usually calls all the way down, but on this hand shoves that river, I smell a straight/higher set. I don't think I make this call.

    Your place or my place
    On the river I bet closer to $30.

    I dont see QT smoothcallin the turn. 67 doesnt really make sense. .

    I actually think it would be a pretty bad call if you think his push is most likely for value.

    67 is the only hand that really makes sense.

    I'm potting this turn and river if he is a calling station. I think folding this river would be criminal. Given the fact it is hard for him to put you on a set and he is just as likely to have two pair and an overpair here than a straight its a must call.

    meh I call. I think 67 is the only hand that beats us that makes sense even the little bit. I don't see a calling statiuon raising 67 preflop though so I call. I could easily be 2 pair, lower set or missed spades.

    if you folded a set there and I were villain, I'd say I had AJ too.

    I gotta call this. The only thing I'm seeing that makes sense is 67 (like everyone else said). But more importantly given your read on his play, he's fishy enough to call this and pay him if he has that straight, which he doesn't 9/10 times.

    don't fold a set on this board, especially when its middle or top set
