Table is playing 5 handed, Villian has just sat down recently. He is unknown to me but is young. The Black Nelt tourney is on so there are presumably plenty of unknowns (to me) in town for it both good and bad. Not seen too much to asses his post flop play but he has open limped a few times and open minraised.

He has about £400 (bought in for £500) and I cover

Dem aces UTG (5 handed) I open to £15 my standard size at this table American mike folds :o Villain flats the button Both blinds fold

Flop =  9d  8h  6d

Hero bets 20 V calls

Turn =  Qs

H bet 45 V calls

River =  Ad

Hero??? Not just what my action should be but what should my response to his reaction be?

the big factor in this decision for me is your instant analysis of his frequency to bluff when checked to/the amount of times he calls value bets thinish

now obviously you dont know as your readless but if he will call down thinish bet/fold, if he wont and wont turn hands into bluffs chk/fold and if you believe hi capable of bluffing here (this will involve bluffing with showdown value as he is really likely to have SOME SDV otr here)

If I genuinely had no idea then my stnd would lean to bet/folding as you can never underestimate live peoples ability to make bad calls, plus he can have some semi-legit 2p's that almost certainly wont fold. plus we will prolly just take it down a ton and leave people wondering about our cards in a spot where we look a little full of it

Bet calling not an option for me, I think readless i'd prolly lean to a chk/call over a chk/fold providing it's not a huge bet as we CAN beat a few value bets and we don't know he ISNT capable of bluffing this river so we're prolly getting a decent price

b/c is obviously not good.

I like b/f maybe 2/3 pot.

nh.

Bet then hate life...think for ages and fold.
