I understand folding here, however without more info regarding how BB has been playing (TAG, LAG, etc) its difficult to say. Would need info on the player to put him on a range of hands. Might call one BB to see, but imo folding is ok.

I agree with airman except his general player type doesn't mean as much to me as a read on 'can he ever bluff in this spot' most the time the answer is not often enough but there are players out there that do donk bluff scary rivers. Against an unknown at 2/4 I fold.

I would hand the king of hearts back to the dealer and tell him its a ludicrously bad card and that he should deal up again.

I'm sure this is a fold on the river without a read, but I am also pretty sure I would end up calling.

will the villain fold any flush that is not close to the nuts?

how bout getting 37/8 with a bluff/raise?

Not saying it works, but 1/5 times as PFR? might be worth at least considering. IF he is a good player, worth a look. IF bad, fold. If mediocre? flip a coin.

I'd be unhappy and call. Since his did not 3bet turn, he probably does not have a str8 and he may donk something like KQ.

Is the pot laying him odds to call?
I call partly because I need a note on this opponent.

no reads? I'd fold, he'd really have to be turning a made hand into a bluff and people really don't do that often at all. If he's truly terrible where KQ or A2 were a possibility (just because he has no idea what he's doing) then I'd look him up.

I'd also 3b the flop, but I suspect that doesn't matter much.
