Do you think he hit the 6 or is he just making a blocker bet to see the river cheaply(and hit a spade im guessing)What's the line here, call this and a reasonable river bet as long as it's not a spade or raise it?

My first thought was this is a blocking bet for a flush draw. If you're feeling frisky I'd raise it up. If not then just call and re-evaluate on the river.

it's tough to know much of anything without reads though...i call and wait to see what he does on the river, if he checks we can value bet it and if he bets we probably call again

It could also be a float play from a LAG opponent. I agree with the approach: if you're feeling frisky, raise, otherwise call (with the intention of calling a safe river or a weak bet on a bad river, but folding to a >1/2 pot bet on a bad river).You only have an overpair, so I prefer calling here for pot control. Even if the river bricks out behind, you're not thrilled with your hand (he may have hit trips on the turn, or flopped a straight for example... obviously, these are both worst-case scenarios). Remember the classic adage "With pairs like AA and KK, you are usually winning small pots and losing big pots"

You have position here. I likely make a smallish raise, without seeming weak. This allows you to check behind if a bad card comes and he checks, fold behind if a bad card comes and he bets large, or value bet (or even check behind based on confidence and reads) if a good card comes.Or fold if he comes over the top.

I raise this to 2.50 preflop personally. I also bet 3.75 to 4.00 on the connected, two suit flop. As played, either a call or a raise seems fine. If he comes over the top, you have to fold. It smells like a blocker but if villain is weak, he might throw out another weak bet on the river for you to profit from.

Alright thanks guys.Results:Hero calls $5River: J BB goes all in for $20~Hero FoldsThe flush got there, his all in was about the pot, and I pitched the hand. I think I still prefer calling, just incase he did have a 6 or maybe even a flopped straight if he was a loose player.

Readless I can see how you want to control the pot on the turn, I just don't know if that is the best move. This definitely looks like a blocker bet or a 7. I think I like a raise here.

I like how you played it the whole way assuming you were calling a shove on a blank river. Unless you have history with villain raising the turn just doesn't get action enough for it to be better than calling

Ya I was planning on calling anything if that spade didnt hit

For everyone advocating a raise, why? If villian comes over top of our raise then we could either very well be getting bluffed out by air or a flush draw and we have to decide if he's bluffing or if we're drawing to two outs.Cold call and reevaluate. If we call this and his hand doesn't improve he almost always has to bet river to try and take it down and we can catch his bluff. If spade hits river then reevaluate.
