    River Decision 50k PGT highroller vs Bobe Suri

    50k PGT highroller, 36 people started and we are down to 14 players or so.

    Me and Bobe have played few times in tournaments and he views me as good aggressive but not crazy AFAI.
    So far I was playing pretty aggro till I lost a 4 bet pot btn vs bb when I called river bet on Jc8c5 6 2 board and lost to Bobe's AT high (he was real surprised when he showed up with the best hand on the river......so was I)

    On to the hand: effective 80k (bobe has lil more than me)
    1-2k (200): I open K8o utg to 4k bobe calls btn
    flops K T 8 I bet 5600 he calls
    turn Q check check
    river 2 I bet 14600 he makes it 38k

    call/fold???

    though I have never played with Bobbe much.. I have heard from others about his tendency to slow play his big hands and he loves to play trappy.. the turn check check.. and an almost min raise (2.6x) from him here looks very nutty .. (even after taking the previous dynamic into the picture) .. I would have folded here..

    My Ace high call few hands earlier wud be a good reason for him not to try and bluff me, dont think he expects me to fold much.

    Hand reading a guy like Bobbe is pretty tough because he plays lots of random hands and tries an assortment of weird bluffs.

    That said, this looks like a set or J9 to me. Our hand is only a bluff catcher here and I am inclined to believe he has the goods because its very difficult for him to play a bluff this way; he can't eliminate monster hands from our range and it's only our big river bet that has allowed him to make a big river raise and create a tough decision. This isn't how Bobbe would play a bluffy hand, so I'd say this is a pretty easy fold.

    FWIW, firstly bobbie is not flatting pre with AJ he wud have 3 bet u wid that ip or the same holds good for 88+ too....so his calling hands probable is some Kx combo, the x could be 10+...... 22 or some other small pairs does not make sense as he will not call flop with the intention of bluffing u later as u have showed him earlier wid ur calls...so its either a hand like kj where in he made a move with the blocker j for u to fold...this line makes more sense as how my limited knowledge perceives this.......jus my two cents....Vig
