One more hand I meant to discuss. This is relatively straightforward until the river, my flop bet could've been larger, but 40% of the pot makes it easier for worse Kx to call

As for the river, I tried to figure out what kind of range he may have to play check/call, check/call, shove. Straight completed, but straight hands don't make sense. QJ has only a gutshot and can't call the turn bet. J7 would likely not call pre. 76s is possible, but likely would've check/raised at some point, as it had no showdown value until river? So I didn't believe in a straight. Sets likely should've raised earlier as well, maybe TT would've played like this? Anyway, while I certainly didn't think I had the nuts, I thought the majority of his range consisted of 2-pair hands which I beat. I couldn't think of many value hands which beat me which would play like this, at least in the time I had to make the decision, and therefore decided to call

Do you think it's a good call?

Thanks!

Only QJ beat you... His line looks strong but as Yohan is saying: they do it on bluff sometimes. :)

I like the play but would not mind to just call off OTR.

That's what I did. Sorry if it isn't clear. His river donk is enough to put me all-in

Against UTG I would just call AKo. Otherwise this looks well played. I'm calling river too with top 2 pair.
