Yet another one of my leaks

Final Pot: 10.70 BB

I didn't post the results because you don't need to see them to know I was beaten here, and neither did I. And yet I call these river raises anyway! I may have finally reached the point where I could've folded this to a raise on the turn, but they still sucker me in for an extra bet on the river practically every time in this situation. I honestly can't remember the last time a "typical" player (i.e. not Mecos) tried to bluff-raise me on the river, and yet I keep payin em off. Anyone else have this problem? I guess the way to go is that from now on, unless I have a specific read that tells me the opponent is capable of such nonsense, I gotta drop my TPTK in this spot. Right?

Although it's a rarity for someone to raise or check-raise me on the river without a strong hand, one out of ten times I pick up a bluff.And in the games I play, the pot by the river is often over 10BBs, so calling is near mandatory unless you have a read on the player.
