Small sample on the villain, but over these 100 hands he’s been super active—basically playing like a maniac. Is the river a mandatory call, or can we find any arguments to fold here? & thanks everyone for your feedback

Preflop
Standard open.

Flop
I dont hate this slowplay, but for it to work you need him to either bluff the turn or catch up to for instance top pair, which is not going to happen all that often. So I kind of lean towards just taking the simple line and bet my strongest hands myself. You can size down to get called wider or even induce a raise.

Turn
He failed to take the bait, so now you really need to bet and get at least some money into this pot.

River
Pretty much the worst possible card and action, and personally I fold here. I guess, he could have some kind of busted draw like 76 or A2/A3, that check-call the turn, but how often are those then leading the river for over two times the size of the pot? I think, a pretty solid exploit for micro and low stakes games is to fold a lot to river overbets, since they are usually heavily skewed towards value.

Pity I let the heat of the moment get to me instead of calmly figuring things out.o_O
