Villain is 18/12 3b 7%, but only over 70 hands. I have a read on him that he likes to lead river OOP when turn goes ch/ch with showdown value(like JJ on KQxxx board). I think there's no point in raising flop as I'm only GII against stronger range. When he ch turn I try to make a small stab and I'm not sure of my call there. And I would like to know if it's OK to call this river?

SB bets $4.34 and is all-in, Hero ?

Hi leshkopoker

Preflop: what do you know about UTG? Can we not 3-bet here?

Postflop: As played your small bet can actually induce him to raise as a semibluff/bluff there and can have draws like spades or even some clubs.

On the river we lose to AA (3 combos) and KK (1 combo) so we rarely need to find a bluff to show a profit. So given the lines and our hand river is a call for me.

Hi BogdanPS,

thank you for evaluation. UTG is 18/18 but only 10 hands, so unknown. Should I have this in my 3betting range against EP?

I think that AKs is definitely strong enough to 3-bet vs EP as long as you expect them to still have a bit of a calling range and are not complete nits.
