    Easy call on this river? It's my first orbit so I don't have any reads other than this guy hasn't played a hand yet.

    Unless you have a good reason for villain to put you on Ax, I fold the turn. The only thing close about this hand, is whether you should have smooth called the preflop raise. AQ isn't making a lot of money against a tight unknown raise in front of you.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    easy river fold.
    Also, if it's an easy call then it's also an easy river re-raise all-in... and I think that would mean you lose your stack 80% of the time.

    Unless you think villain is stupid then he probably thinks you have AJ, AQ or AK, and he is still keen to put money inthe pot. Sure, you beat KK, QQ, JJ - but would they really play it like this? Villain AA?

    Hard to say though as I'm never playing your line. If i survived pre-flop I would I re-raise or fold on the flop to at least get an idea of how my hand is. Given your flop smooth-call I probably fold the turn.

    3bet 30-40% and muck the rest probably if he isnt a super-camper.

    You generally don't want to be putting 1/3 of your stack in then folding, so if you are calling the turn you should be calling the river. But before you call the turn you should decide if you will call a big bet on the river and if not you have to fold. I wonder how this plays out with a 3-bet pf.

    Fold or raise pre-flop. There is no draw he puts you on to try and push you off of. Raise this flop and fold to a push. As played FOLD river; I think another AQ checks most of the time.

    I doubt 66. he's the pfr.
    I'd be actually amazed if it was 66.

    I'd say 50% AK, 30% JJ-KK, 10% AA, 10% air.

    Why AA? WildBob closed the betting on every street. Villain has been betting relatively small bets all the way to the river, where he put in 40BB. He want's to get paid off.
    My dream... is to fly... over the rainbow... so high...

    I'd instafold the river, but I'd think about folding the turn.

    I'd threebet this pre most likely but like Miffed said, that's 6max coming through.

    I think not threebetting puts us in a lot of spots where we're putting a large amount of money in the pot unsure of where we're at and most likely behind.

    other option is to raise flop check behind on turn and call a river bet, which tells him your hand.
