tough river #2

I agree that this line is unusual. I disagree with the conclusion. What is bet/calling turn to begin with? It's not like he is going to bet/call a large raise (you did over 4x), with air, will he? Suppose he wanted really hard to plat back, he could do that with 43s, so you beat 3 combos, you split vs 3 combos of 74s and the 7x, but I don't see which 7x he could have.

Imo it's more likely that he has Q7ss/A7ss/QTss/KQss etc. type of hands that wanted to donk turn because for some reason they saw a video about a guy donking good turns for his range and that's it. On the other hand, given your line, you often have a made hand turn, a hand that will dislike seeing a spade river. He could decide to do take this line turn with KQ and decide to donk spades river, knowing that you rarely have a flush. Honestly, it's quite unlikely a NL10 guy will think like that, but if you have a note or a reason to believe that this guy is spewy then you can call. Readless I am folding. That's exploitable I guess, but I would do this fold as an exploit myself: because I think villains will too rarely bluff here. It's not a spot where they decided to turn 6x/5x into a bluff because your range does not like this river, they'd check most of these hands on the turn.

Yes... And i think i need to get more comfortable folding in spots like this at this limit as you do generally see strong hands not spews in these spots. I'm forever kicking myself but you worded it well, that we're folding as an exploit to a nutted range.

Not that it matters but i did actually fold here.
