Facing a big bet on the river.

Definitely possible. But what type of player would you put on what?

I am a tourney player and I will not put anyone on anything, because players and tables change. 🤷‍♂️

AK is not the best hand in this scenario... I often see professionals doing exactly like the villain did to you... It is a polarized spot, where he can have all or nothing but he can also thing that he can only win from you doing what he did in the River.

You're right, they play straightforward most of the time. What about the other 2 types?

I find my gut instinct is usually right, a least 75% of the time. Sometimes it is a toss up between what my gut says and what my brain tells me, lol. I usually regret when I don't listen to my gut.

You put yourself in a bad spot. When he checked on the river, you should have checked behind…too many hands that beat you.

I would call XD
Probably a smaller King such as KQ or KJ,maybe a flush or a three of a kind, but a would call.
God bless

That wasn't a real hand.
The purpose of the post is to learn how to deal with different types of opponents.
But let's assume I did put myself in that bad spot, should I just give up and fold no matter what kind of player I'm facing?

I think I would call the maniac and pass the rest.
