Pre i call because i get a really good price. Flop is obv great an I decide just to cc since i don't think alot of hands will continue if i raise it up on this dry board. OTT when villain continues to fire i decide to raise it up. He seems to have atleast something, (JJ+ JT-AT) maybe even 89,78 will call with a gutter. And i want to build the pot without having a weird spot on the river where he checks back and i think if i dont raise i miss out on value from overpairs.

OTR i bet again on the larger side for value vs his overpairs and worse Tx. when he raises it i get pot odds of 4.5:1 which i at the time thought warranted for a call.

So, my question is, how would you have played the river?

I Think I would prefer a sqz in this spot with our blocker hand. Things can't go to bad with just flatting tho as we get a superprize to call.

As played I really don't see how we can fold.

As played I don't see how we can fold this river as he might have worse Tx, and he might overplay a overpair.

Hi,

I think pre-flop call is fine. We can always squueze but I personally don´t want to play oop against strong UTG range with marginal hand in big pot.
Postflop seems fine.
I don´t expect us to be ahead very often on the river and likely his shove range is KT or even AT+, but since our hand is very strong I would likely still b/c river.
He should never shove there overpairs, since worse hands would not call (unless he turns them into bluff), but putting him on T8s+ seems also too scared money.

Some players are still overplaying worse Tx hands that spot or try some crazy bluff with missed spades.

best regards,
