I didn't have many hands on Villain so I'm not sure if he would of put the rest of his stack in with a missed draw. I felt he was trying to get paid off and didn't want me to check back the river.

Bovada - $0.05 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (CO): 114.4 BB
BTN: 18.2 BB (VPIP: 7.14, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 14)
SB: 104 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)

MP: 87 BB (VPIP: 28.57, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 14)

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K K

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 4 BB, fold, SB calls 3.6 BB, BB calls 3 BB

SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets 11 BB, SB calls 11 BB, fold

Turn: (34 BB, 2 players) 2

Fold. He almost always shows up with Qx here.

So I think we need to be good here like more than 35% of the time, so I guess if we think villain will bluff donk all in more than 1 out of every 3 times then we can call. Personally I don't think so.

Nice fold

I'd call but I am a calling station. What value hands does he shove river with? AQ and Q9 only? Even though I think you find out if he has Q9 a little bit sooner then the river. The river donk shove just looks soooo bluffy, especially on a board this draw heavy. When it comes down to it there are more combos of bluffs in villains range then there are value shoves on this river so it is a call.

Bluff combos he donk shoves river with, J10, 87, any SC with Diamonds, Axdd.

Value combos he donk shoves with, AQ, Q9. I would even consider putting only half the combos of Q9 in there because of flop and turn action.

He doesn't only need to be bluffing with missed draws here. Bad players will think their JJ, TT or 9x is gold here too. It's very close especially with the price we are getting.

wouldn't a fish be more inclined to x/c or make a sort of blocker bet rather than committing the remaining half of his stack with a hand like 9x? from what i remember in my own experiences that usually seems to be how they play it...or maybe i need to call more rivers in this spot to find out for sure! but to me this bet reeks of Qx and i very rarely see fish take this line with a missed draw at these limits. even though its only a half pot bet it's over half his stack so carries much more weight. easy fold for me

I think we can afford to call here because villain could be easily bluffing at this spot. Two flush draws and a straight draw all missed on the river.

With the odds we are getting i think i would bluff catch. If he had a made hand he might have check raised on the flop or turn as the board was wet to stop us from chasing but he didn't which is why i would call.

The price is right.

I would definitely call here. My hand is even decent.
