Daily Poker Quiz: River Check-Raise from a Tricky Opponent

pokertable

The Situation: $1/$2 6-Max Cash Game. You've been playing well and you've built your stack up to $800. Your opponent has $700 behind. He is a very good and very tricky opponent who sometimes plays big hands in unconventional ways.

From the cutoff your opponent open-raises to $6.
You re-pop it to $15 with AcKd. It folds back around to him and he calls.

The flop comes Kc2s9d. He checks and you decide to bet $20, a little more than half the pot. He calls.

The turn brings the 5h. Again he checks, and again he calls your ($50) bet.

The river brings the 5d. When he checks again, you're feeling confident you have the best hand. You make a value bet of $100. Your opponent lets his time bank run down, and then shoves all in for his remaining $525. Do you call or fold? Vote and/or comment below!

"tricky, but if you know the opponent fold"

Isn't there something like "never go broke on one pair"? Fits exaktly in this situation.
  

"no subject"

i call
  

"Jummy jummy.."

This was an easy one. Opponent "must" have KK or AA pockets and just enjoys the ride.
  

"Bluff or Tricky?"

I think, because the poll is about 50%/50% There are not so much possible hands the opponent could have.
1) A big bluff, he hit nothing just let u bet and tries to steal the pot. if u dont call, u lost lotta money coz of his all in.
2) He got the same hand as you and you will split the pot.
3) he has hit a set with 99 or KK , or has Aces. 22 possible, but i think he didnt call that preflop.
(suited) connectors like 5/6 or 4/5 arent the topic i think because he didnt hit anything on the flop and wont play any backdoor.
As the Poll is 45%/55% by now, i think 45% believe him a bluff or split pot and a big chance to win this hand, 55% believe the oppenent a better hand.
Now its on you to play your opponent!
  

"youve played the hand"

youve played the hand wrong.
you should check the turn for pot control. Because the flop didnt contain any draws (apart from a gutshot with some weird holding), it means that if you have the best hand, your opponent is on 2 outs probably. a free card isnt that bad then
Then you can call a riverbet from him.
  

"fold"

i fold he probably have AA KK or 99
and played the hand perfect against these cards
