Hero wins 86.2 BB

Is the river call OK? My thinking was if he has anything strong he would raise on the flop or turn and my small bet on the river might induce him to raise busted draws or he might call me thinking I was on a busted draw. On the other had you do sometimes see people just flating drawy flops with set and two pairs waiting for safe turns so he could easily have me beat. Also people rarely bluff river like that.

Should I have just check/call river instead? Or check/fold?

Hi,

i would usually fold the river here. People just don't bluff often enough here, and it's possible he is slowplaying a boat ott. If you think he is stabby i'd prefer a c/c much more here than a smallbet/induce line.

So i would c/c vs an agressive opponent that bluffs, and c/f vs a more passive player. Note you also hold the Q blocker, which makes me more inclined to call.

Regards,

Skod
