$5 NLHE 6-max: KQ on button facing river shove

Villian is unknown, had only played 13 vs this player. Could I have played this any better? Do we call the river shove as he short stacked?

Turn seems like a clear fold to me. I think we need to take some kind of action other than calling on the flop

So would you prefer raising that flop?

I would def raise flop or as played fold the turn. No need over-committing on a hand we're unsure about and can be easily beaten by random AT/KT/JT, etc type hands.

ok, i didnt even consider raising the flop at the time

I think raising is cool but it might be thin, idk.

Dirty board. I don't think much worse calls a turn raise but what do you really beat but a bluff that bets the turn?

I'm down with this. Its close between a BA/WB flop and a regular wet board. But I think its dry enough that we can raise this spot profitably.

Trick is, are we raise/folding or raise/shipping it? Seems like a raise/fold to me, which seems a bit gross. But I can't think of any other line I like.

Turn's a fold as played.

are you lot super aggro or what?

we're IP, flat and see the turn and evaluate from there..

turns a clear fold though, don't know what you expected villain to do expect barrel a 3rd time.

Lol I'm obv super aggro but that's nothing new Campbell

Maybe raise flop here, as played should fold turn, definitely fold river you cant call.

Raising the flop seems ridiculous, what's the point? So he can get it in with AKdd and overpairs?

I agree we should fold the turn but frankly, once we call the turn I feel like calling the river. It's kind of hard to buy his story here.

edit: Shoving turn is going to be better than calling turn, J is way better for our range than his.

Fold turn, there's a shitload of straights about and the flush draws may bluff the river so we're essentially committing our stack by calling.

Raising the flop is too thin, JT/AQ/QQ+/89/Q9/88/99 all crush us.
I've added every possible flush draw and all pair+GS (even TT/JJ) to this range. Feel free to add more hands to it if you wish.
