$100NL 6-max @ FT.

Button open raises to $3.50. i call in the SB w/ 33. villain calls in BB. $160 effective stacks. villains seem competent. a little too loose but decently aggressive.

flop: [8h][5h]
pot: $10

check, check, check.

turn:
pot: $10

i bet $9. villain calls, button folds.

river:
pot: $28

i bet $21. he thinks for 4 or 5 seconds and shoves all in. its roughly $125 to call.

first of all- do we call or fold?
second- what do we view his range as? assume we've not seen villain pull any crazy bluffs or do anything horribly spewy, though i don't have enough information to completely rule out those possibilities.
third- how deep do we have to be before we consider folding to a shove here?

Looks a lot like KK, but could of course be some weird bluff or horribly overplayed/slowplayed AK. I think it is KK often enough to fold but nobody will blame you for calling obviously.

Would he play K5, 85 this way, i.e. call preflop, check on turn, push river?
Would he play A5, Q5, etc, this way?

I would probably call expecting to win less than 50%, but often enough for a call to be +EV.
His range is like 5x, 88, may be missed flush draw.
If we had 40-50 dollars more I would certainly fold this, with these stacks it's a marginal call.

Insta-call. A weird bluff makes up a large % of his range.

I dunno how deep - 250BBs? Gosh, this might be total spew, but this is such a odd line that I'm going to have a real hard time folding. Any hand that beats you surely would have raised the turn, yes? I mean, LOOK AT THE DRAWS. seems very plausible too.

33, meet 88.

villain, meet $$$.

word.

Wow, I really dislike how villian played flop and turn.
