I would say we can't call all streets with our hand. There are no reasonable draws that missed OTR so it is more unlikely that villain is bluffing. On the other hand his bet is so small that we have to be right only 20% of the time. So maybe calling is not bad on the long run but expect to lose a lot.

I like it as played. We do not need to win that often indeed so I may call this one OTR. We can be up against JJ or QQ but just as well KQ or AK.

the size of the bet OTR looks like a value bet so I think he is not bluffing, he must have at least a pair. You lose to AA, KK, AK (25 combos) and may be some weird doubles that 3bet preflop (K7?), I don't expect that he 3bet 77. He could bet 3 streets with second pair on a SBvsBTN spot if he is aggressive, if he is a passive player he would pass at least one street with those hands. so, depending on the villain you beat QQ, JJ, and KJ (24 combos).. you need to win ~25%, so is a call IMO. however, he is going to show AK a lot of the time ..

what was his hand?

Guys, our preflop play is not ok. We should not call with this hand. We can be dominated and we can lose a lot postflop.
As played, river can be a fold.

PS - did he show AK?

BTN vs SB you can't fold KQ that easy, his 3bet range is wider than usual

We can always 4b bluff...

his hand was AK.
in the begining with no reads on player i think the best way to play was to 4bet fold preflop. entering a 3bet flop with a dominated hand, no reads and no clear understanding of his range is a mistake probably.

yey, I got it right. :)
If you call preflop, you should be aware that it can be dominatedand cannot call 3 streets...
