BB bets t1020.00, Hero ???????

Spoiler

Final Pot: t2240
BB shows 8 :diamond: 6 :heart:
BB wins t2240.00

So some information on villain;
3bet/calls 4bet with trash like J4o.
calls cbets with wide range of hands including gutshots highcards, any pair. check/miniraises a lot with Top Pair and/or 2nd pair.
Has up till now done a large amount of over-bet shoving, normally as a check/raise, but twice on rivers following limited action from myself.

Note; I can't give you stats, don't know if its normal but HM Hud just doesn't work or HU Sng's

Hello,

Heh, this river spot sucks. Given your reads I don't think I ever fold river. I also like the rest of your line, although I bet 60 on turn instead of 40.

Also, re: HM hud on HUSNGs, its an ipoker-specific thing that HM corrected in an update. Try downloading the newest patch for HM and it should work.

Thanks. I just updated HM but it doesn't seem to have helped.

I played this guy again and again he check/minraised TP weak kicker, also check/overbet shoved two-pair a few times when i had decent hands.

He did also donkbet and check/call several times and i never quite worked out for sure what he'd do that with. donk draws, c/c 2nd/3rd pair or worse maybe?

That sounds like a reasonable starting point. You can also add in potential ace and king highs (possibly even worse) to his check/calling range. Tough to say without seeing a few hands at showdown.

???? Fold the river all day every day, good stuff if he's exploiting you, but seriously we need 1020/1120 equity here to call, given that we chop if he's bluffing. So we need to be "right" over 90% of the time!!

EDIT: After thinking about this hand a bit more, I'm pretty sure we aren't chopping 90% of the time, given its possible villain can shove overpairs too here as well as the 6 and a 7. Listen to chenny on this one lol.

^^ thought you misread the board (happens often with handevals imo) and saw that our ace high played. in those cases we can call much more liberally.

As in, two pair on the board and our A high is often good against his weird shoving range? Still not entirely sure what to expect from these aggro players who like to make huge overbet shoves seemingly at random

Unfortunately we're only calling to chop, in which case we need to be chopping 90% of the time to call. Which is a bit much. especially since we're unsure of whether he's even capable of bluffing here, or doing this with an overpair.
