Commerce 40 - Narrow Range River Spot
TAG regular opens in late middle position and I 3bet AKo next in. Folded back around to him and he 4bets (which surprises me because I have never seen him 4bet out of position HU before the flop). HU to the flop.
Flop AQ3tt. He bets, I call.
Turn Jr. He bets, I call.
River 9r. He checks, I bet, he raises. I puke, question whether I should have bet the river at all, and very reluctantly call.
Not sure if it mattered, but in my post you quoted, "are" should have been "aren't".
I'm not sure that kr the turn is the best, just that I like it better than on the river.
A lot of players are still going to bet the turn when checked to with those hands. If not, you're not likely to get more than two big bets total out of them anyway.
But the main thing is that this line by villain should not have worked. AK should not have bet/called the river, and hands better than that should have raised the f
Rob, just so I’m understanding, is your point that there is no hand i should 3bet/call with preflop and then call the flop and turn with in position? If your point is that none of those hands should bet the river, I get that, but just want to make sure I’m tracking.

No, I'm fine with the way this hand was played until the river.
I think the river bet was iffy though, and the river call was bad. If you couldn't bring yourself to fold to the check-raise on the river, definitely better to just check behind the first time.
