Flop: (19.4 BB, 2 players) 7♥ J♣ K♦
Hero checks, CO bets 6.08 BB, Hero calls 6.08 BB
Turn: (31.56 BB, 2 players) T♦
Hero checks, CO bets 20 BB, Hero calls 20 BB
River: (71.56 BB, 2 players) K♠
Hero checks, CO bets 66.44 BB and is all-in, fold
CO wins 68 BB
In this spot I realize that in theory I should probably be calling, being up in my range, even despite having the ace of diamonds. My question here is if you think that players at this stakes will bluff often enough that spot in order to make the call acceptable and profitable or the opposite? I noticed people tend to shy away from bluffing when top card pairs, so I decided to make the hero fold, thinking i still have better hands in my range, like straights and FH, and AK with no diamond as well to call with.
I am getting about 2:1 to call.
Anyway I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
Thank you.
