1. Is it right to call this river raise, or should I 3 bet.

1) fine you still have a value bet on the river and call against a raise. So everything all right here.
I would probably do the same on the river but why wouldn't a re-raise be apropriate?
There's no flush possible, and a straight is very unlikely.
UTG raised preflop so unless he was slowplaying a set I don't see what could a 5 get him.
I'd give him AQ or KQ and a river raise cause he has a top pair with a good kicker.
Only asking. I would probably do the same when playin, unless I knew the opponent.
I know that especailly at the micro limit a lot of bad players play hands like AQ or KQ this way. But most of the time he would raise you with AQ or KQ on the flop or turn or he would calldown the hand.
So most of the time you are beat here. A River raise is representing almost always a strong hand.
I don't know the exact mathematics but i think you must be ahaid 60% when you 3bet the river because you will almost always get a cap against stronger hands. And i don't see you in front here 60% of the time.
