    Could look like a steal. AT - AK is likely to call here. Obv not a superstar with the min raising/re-raise on turn.

    PF - I really don't like limping in

    Flop - I would normally raise for info but the call is fine

    Turn - I raise bigger and fold to the min 3 bet

    River - HU I go broke with 2 pair on a non suited board with almost zero chance of him having the straight. I play river the same although his persistence is a little worrying.

    I think we see a naked A calling here enough of the time so the answer is no

    Since this is hand analysis...

    Raise the flop.

    To answer your question, many hands that you beat will call here. Any Ace should call. A lot of Qs will probably call. All smaller two pairs should call.

    However, opponent's river bet would get me thinking. He's been min-betting and min-raising up to this point. Now he's throwing out a 1/3 pot bet. That would make me wonder what he was up to.

    If you IM me looking for money or a trade, you will be blocked.

    I don't like the river raise size, far too big imo. It folds out the hands you want to call, bare aces and the like and only gets called by hands that beat you I think.

    I'd raise it to 500.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    So by that logic if he comes back and shoves you're folding?!

    No.

    The reason I raise less is it gives him a chance to call with worse (likely) or maybe even shove with worse (unlikely I guess). A massive overbet on the river doesn't seem that profitable to me.
