What are we doing on the river here?

The guy had been calling nearly all raises pre flop, so there range was pretty wide!

Looking back I don't like my 1/2 pot turn bet, but what are we doing on the river?

Fold or call?

(Personally I dont like the 3rd option to re raise here.)

    I am prob being too tight atm but ive been on a sick run over the last two weeks maybe it's made me fold here!

    Saying that they did lead a pot sized bet on the river, something didn't seem right here.

    Gotta bet more on flop + turn, flop is like a snap £1.50 bare minimum amazed you made iit £1.

    Turn halfpot bet is also bizarre, should be £3 there but Obz more if you bet flop.

    On river not too sure, after being so limp cally/passive/awful through most of hand to suddenly bet pot is suspicious and might mean they've hit something they think beats you and want paying but it could be a bluff using board to scare you. J10 got there on turn so 7 only helps 56 but that's unlikely.

    I'd personally fold but wouldn't make such poor bets before river.

    gotta bet the flop and turn bigger

    the river can be a fold if he's only eva leading pot when he gets there

    1 thing u can't do is raise!!

    I normally just instinctively snap these off readless without even thinking, and am generally good.

    I can't really justify why though, it's a horrible spot to break down.

    how many times have you seen the guy make this move?
    if this is the first time, i like the fold, if he's v.spewy post flop i call!
    like above, bet more flop & turn

    If this is was me and i was playing well....i would fold.

    It's a very two pairy/ straighty board.

    It is strange how they clearly like the 7 on the river. They most likely have 78 or 79 imo.

    Agree bet bigger through the streets, but I think you are likely to be behind on the river, Unlikely he fires with 1pr.  But as someone else said if you bet bigger through the streets its far less of a descision on the end, win or lose.

    bigger on flop and turn

    when a fishy goes call/call/donk pot he likes his hand. In theory I like the fold, at the table I prob snap, I would imagine its pretty close. Raising would be utter spew without a read
