Am I getting block bet or value bet? Call or raise?

    Default Am I getting block bet or value bet? Call or raise?

    How do you play this?
    Do you just check behind on the turn?
    Villian has been playing quite a few hands.
    Like the title says, call or reraise the river?
    Anything else that stands out?
    Does the hand converter accept hand grabber? I couldn't figure it out. Please tell me how if it does.

    You call, because nothing you have beat will call a raise anyway. Often this is a value bet or a bluff. Looks like KT. Once in a while it's KJ or KQ, but not often enough to raise the river. Do you have a loose read on the opponent?
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    I could be wrong but I think a block will usually occur if a draw to something better than TP does pan out. Like if this river had been a third club, 5, or 3 a top-pair hand will block with a bet of about this size. Can't say for sure; try to use the coverter so we can see pot size on each street.

    calling is just fine here ...i think a blocking bet would be smaller say 1-1.5 depends on pot size ..but this looks more like a bluff...but reraising isn't optimal in this situation...

    Thanks guys.

    I did just call. He had 98c for a busted flush + inside straight draw. So he got both cards for 1 call. But when he bet the end it sure does look like two pair.
