Default Play this River.

Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
Full Ring
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: roughly about 260$
Villian: has about the same as me.

Pre-flop: (10 players) So im dealt
I bring it in for a raise to 8$ in EP, Gets called by villian in MP, everyone else folds, so heads up to the flop

Flop: ($18.2, 2 players)
Hero bets $12.15, villian calls.

At this point I have him on a flush draw, or a weak ace, he could also have a set of 7s.

Turn: ($42.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, Villian bets $25, Hero calls.

River: ($92.5, 2 players)
Hero ???

This is probably the weirdest river card to hit. If I lead out here, and he has AQ or AJ, or even 77 and decides to raise me on the river, I will have one of the hardest decisions to make on the river, as I will probably have to play this hand for my stack. I have maybe 214$ left in my remaining stack.

What do you do here, and why?

On the turn, we know he has a made hand. There's many made hands we're ahead of here, so we must not play the river too scared imo.

Had you seen this guy play a lot? Do you know how he plays AK? Does he normally re raise PF with it? If he does usually re raise then it may be more likely that he is holding AQ or AJ. If you can eliminate AK then it makes your decision easier.
AT is a possibility especially if he is holding the Tc but I think this is unlikely.
I also don't believe he has 77 because I'd imagine he'd put a raise out on the flop and would likely be more scared of the turn card.

I would check call the river and fold to a signifcantly large bet because in all honesty I think he has the big full house.

I'm interested to see what he's got!

Depends on player.

If I think hes a very TAG player I probably bet 2/3 pot which will get called by flush or 77 and I would fold to all in as he will only do that if I'm beat (infact even A7 may only call).

If I think hes a solid player who would not check flush and may be capable of bluffing then I probably check-call.

If I think hes a donk who will happily play any flush or Ace here all in then I bet pot and call all in.

I would guess he had flush here.

that is a bad card, but if you look at it another way it could be your best card, because it beats the flush. If you don't feel confident you have the best hand then just check call. If he moves in when you check to him then you have a very tough situation. If he moved on me, I would probablly still call, depending on my reads on him.
