    Hard to say really, since he donks both made hands and air same way. But i probably wouldn't call river with such a marginal hands vs a whale. Need top pair at least to commit myself. Not worth of my stack imo since there will be so many spots to stack this fish.

    How about starting with putting him on a range?

    If the only info you have is that he's a spazzy fish who likes to donk multiple streets with both air and made hands then just call down - it's easier to have air than it is to have a pair. You need 25% to call the river - don't see how we could ever fold as played. If you call turn you should be planning to call river vs someone this all over the place.

    Like also, he probably 3 bets JJ+ maybe even TT+ or 99+ sometimes preflop if he's mindless aggro so better made hands are just outweighed by his spazz imo, don't think I'm folding any street. He's just defending so many more combos of non pairs air than pairs preflop so this makes post flop pretty trivial with the reads you have imo.

    I'm not calling the turn if I can't call a river brick, especially knowing he's prolly gonna bomb again.

    Correct me if I'm wrong - I also think call is profitable... although there's many hands that can beat you he might also have flush draw, 22, 44, 55, any Ax.. well, maybe it's too wide but if it makes for 25% (30% for our profitability) of his range then call.
    Stacks would be more or less even if he wins so next time you get yours and the rest of his money in one hand.

    Its been said, but if you call the turn you have to call the river.

    i personally dont think 55 is far enough ahead of even this guy to call it down - if this was 66/77 (assuming board is like 833 for 77) its a much more interesting spot

    id fold the turn based on the fact this guy is going to put plenty of money in waaaay behind at some point so concentrate on creating that spot and not play so many pots like this.

    call turn fold river would be vomitspewchunks, i don't much like call/call though since your read doesnt include the phrase "has been busted 3 barrel bluffing" or "high postflop aggression factor over a decent sample of hands" ..guys range should include a whole load of mid pp's so i like this a lot better with 99+ for you since your getting beat here far too often by 66-TT.

    youre reads are that he's pretty spazzy but he's leading all 3 streets into you. hows your own image?
