The villain is a bad player..

I am interested in what you think about calling folding or shoving river.. Does his bet size influence your decision or is there something else you will take into account?

Call river, unless he's a total spewtard river shove is too thin imo.

I think I fold...if you're calling it's "punch in balls, then call"...but I don't think you're good >1/4.

I wasn't happy about it but I called.. I was looking at the board and just couldn't see him having a straight there..

Also, my mistake, I forgot to write that a couple of hands earlier he played the same way against me, only that he shoved the river when 3rd for flush came there and I folded..

Had he shoved I would have folded again, but since he didn't I was bit more comfortable and again, I didn't see him having a straight with either a Q or a 7 here for some reason, and I talked myself into thinking that if he has me beat, it's from the flop, not later.

Anyway, he had K8o.
