$25 NLHE Full Ring: In position controlling pot backfires.

Considering the player, considering how the hand played, I had a very strong feeling he was bluffing the river. Especially considering the card that fell. Is there any situation you call here? I think one big mistake was I called behind instead of re-raising the turn. But if you have the play as is, what do you do?

Why the PF 3-bet on what looks like a tighter player?? And why a smaller 3-bet?

Do you always not c-bet a paired board flop?

To me this just looks like spew!!! But with villain having 152 hands against you maybe you have some history here you haven't told us about.

Little bit of background:

Villain folds to 3BET often, what ever bet size. I get alot of value from 3betting him, in fact I got value from 3bets from the whole table. (3BET % over 200 hands was like 20%)

I don't always not c-bet a paired board flop, I'd say I 50% c-bet 50% don't c-bet. When I have a weak hand, I like to not C-bet and check-raise paired board flops. (Which is why I am saying I should've re-raise the turn, but by then I made a moderate strenght hand.)

Thats prety much all the history I have for this hand.

Making a call here on the river will all be based on what your hud gives you for the villain.

Hud-less about the only thing you beat is a stone cold bluff. Yeah the Ace is a great card to bluff at for the villain given your weak line but you don't beat much.

That bet sizing can easily be a value bet for overpairs if your stats show you call-down light.

Yeah, I'm thinking let him run with his great play there.

My stats doesn't show I call down light, I'm folding 47% on river bets and showing 50% win showdown after River call. Still like you say I think there is so much spots where he has us beat, alot of the times I see him on spades there.

My decision was to fold.
