don't know much about this villian other than he is probably another who does weak bets.
i did a rasie on the turn and he doesn't reraise so i am still unsure weather he has a weak pair or is hiding a monster.
is the raise right and then when he min raises again should i jame or is that too much of a risk.

    Well its a definite shove for me. You might be splitting some of the time, but you never know with these crazies ;)

    We have the 3rd nuts here, with only 26 and 67 beating us, so I think its too tight to flat here. Whatever he shows, its worth a note. Doesnt matter if he shows 67, a set, or complete junk, whatever it is, you will know in future that he will make a tiny 3bet on the river with that type of hand.

    i just flat the 3 bet on the river as i think we are splitting/behind way more than we are in front.

    its an limped blind v blind pot and as they say dont go broke in a limped pot and all that. the 3 bet on the river at nl4 is almost always a very strong hand. i know some will over value 2 pair or sets here, tbh i dont think the villain has a set as i think there would be more action on turn its more likely 2 pair with the A if we are in front, but its one of the few times i reign in the agression just because of the betting on the river.  it really does look like a value raise with 67 or 62 the most likely.

    if im in front after flat calling i shout at myself for being an idiot but i honestly believe its a split at best

    the thing that got me thinking he has not got a straight was the turn. when a villian does this sort of thing is he doing it because he thinks i will fold right away putting him on a straight or do they do it because they are too scared that a flush or FH could be hit on the river?
    i see it with premium pairs preflop, sets and weak flushes all kinds of monster hands doing it.
