Note Villain’s stack size. The river bet isn’t actually pot, it’s putting him all in for about $90.

He’s a fishy, so I’m not going to read too much into the fact that he just calls turn instead of sticking it in. I figure he’s got a (better) busted draw here and folds at least 20% of the time, and that’s enough to make the shove profitable.
