Weak AAxx with low suits, facing hero call on river

Villain in hand is a fishy 47/17/10 with somewhat passive stats. Maybe I should be checking back the flop, but I don't think I'm getting check-raised a lot. I don't know about the hero call on the river. Maybe it's an easy fold with low flush because I don't know if the villain is bluffing that much?

I think you can easily mix it up and just call pre with these kind of bad AA in a pot that often goes multiway.

You will not reduce SPR enough and will be MW a lot.

As played probably fine to fold river. I doubt he is bluffing enough. Definitely a call with the nut flush or K high flush, otherwise too many flushes are betting for value and are winning. On ocassion he will have boats as well - i would even say that he has boats more often than he is bluffing


It's very player dependent I think but without very clear reads I would always call here.


Wouldn’t a hand like AKQ make a better call? Or is 8 high flush too high in range?


I don't think QJ is that relevant when you consider his sizing. Flush blockers are good and unblocking wraps is good.

Not that those things are more relevant than solid reads, but assuming we don't have very strong reads.

I'd agree if we were OOP but being button it would be a crime not to raise it up.


Don't much like flop bet. We're gonna get raised a ton and we don't have a very good hand.

Easy fold on the river against someone described as passive, unblocking a wide value range. If he's bluffing, you say well done to him. Likely he's boated but don't be surprised when such players pluck up the courage to value bet the nut flush here.

We have 3 blockers to wraps. Arguably, 4 blockers kinda

Well, obviously K and T are the ones in every wrap so they are the real blockers. Of course it's good to use precise language.
