    Default 3/6 NL full AA Faces Curious River Bet

    Whats your line on the river and why? Villain is a loose player and not particularly that solid of a player. Not much else is known about him.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    BB ($818)
    UTG ($601.80)
    UTG+1 ($342.05)
    Hero ($843.80)
    MP2 ($972.45)
    CO ($788.10)
    Button ($510.20)
    SB ($519.08)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, A. SB posts a blind of $3.
    UTG calls $6, 1 fold, Hero raises to $25, 5 folds, UTG calls $19.

    Flop: ($59) T, T, 6 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero checks.

    Turn: ($59) 8 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $30, UTG calls $30.

    River: ($119) 6 (2 players)
    UTG bets $120, Hero calls $120???

    Final Pot: $359
    BR now: $106900
    Playing now: $10/10/20 - $20/40 NL live, $10/20 NL full ring online, $10/20 NL 6-max online, $20/40 FL 6-max online, $100/200 FL live
    Goal: $125000 for $25/50 NL live

    usually you are beat in this spot, sure they are bluffing somtimes or have the 8, but i don't they have it enough. Big bet on the river usually = fullhouse here.

    May I ask why you choose to only play 200NL with that huge of a bankroll?

    3/6 NL is a $600 table.

    The way this hand was played I'd give almost zero chance he has you beat here, you showed weakness and gave no info about your hand here.
    Instacall for me here, if I have a solid read I might min-raise to 240 and see him call muck.

    I would probably call. Probably losing a bet if he has JJ-KK - but I think he'd have bet/raised somewhere before the river.

    He either has junk (77? A-kicker?) that will fold to a re-raise, or the boat that will re-re-raise you.

    I play 200 NL 6-max because 6-max requires 40+ buy-ins to play and is insanely swingy. And I havent really beaten the 200 NL 6-max game yet (though I'm getting close).

    I play 6max exclusively, so do you recommend having at least 40 buyins to move up to the next level. Maybe 50 buyins for the high stakes.

    Why raise preflop and check the flop?
