I played this hand with 100 BB effective stacks in a cashgame, and I'm not sure about what to do here on the river.
I open from the Hijack with AcAd to 3BB.
Villain is a decent reg.
Villain on the button calls and the action folds to the big blind, who folds as well.
The flop comes:
9c 7c 3h
I C-Bet around 64% and Villain calls.
The turn is the Kc
I check to Villain, since this card is better for his range, than it is for mine.
Villain bets around half pot, and I call.
The river is the 8d, and this is what the boards looks like:
9c 7c 3h Kc 8d.
I check to Villain and he pots the river.
What do I do here?
I am at the top of my range here, and having the ace of clubs, makes this hand even better to call from a card-removal standpoint.
However, what bluffs does Villain have here on the river? Some questionable suited 86? This board absolutely smashes his range!
After thinking for a while, I called, because if I fold aces here with the Ac, I'm easily exploitable.
Even though I shouldn't tell what Villain had, to remove the outcome-bias, I'm gonna say it for the curious people:
He showed Jc10c
