call/fold

No way your folding, at least call, somtimes I actually like to push all in here. Seems like villian has a Q. possibly a boat, but at this level i'd say it may be +EV long term to push.
What everyone else think?

Tough to know if he's going for the checkraise on the turn with 2 pair or a set - but it isn't a great board to be giving a free card on.

As2s, 5s2s, 5s6s are all possible, as is QX (full or otherwise). You have to call 5.75 into a $13.50 pot. Three-handed, I think I call - it's a lower flush or trips often enough, your small river bet doesn't look strong, and I'm not sure he checks the river with a great hand after you check behind on the turn.

FWIW

im tanking going through possible hands here

Villain: just call
Hero: river filled u up huh
Hero has 15 seconds left to act
Villain: I know u want too
Villain: comeon
Villain: call

maybe or maybe not makes a difference to you.

i actually folded here after my time just about ran out. i told myself i will valuebet but if raised i might have to muck my hand. i know that seems weak but his flop action led me to believe he had 2 pair. the river easily could have filled him up. meh

I think at least a call is best here.

His range is most times a Q here I think. Minbet/min3bet on flop is kindve weird, and he might have something as strong as a set (donkishly played). I think I would call the river and expect to see Qx/sometimes lower flushes.

[eigenvalue]

I don't like to push weak flushs on paired boards. I'm not that sure if it is +EV. But You are right, no way of folding that, You have to call.

Best regards

Folding is out -- you have a good hand, decent odds to call, and the information value in seeing what villain played this way is pretty big; his line is funky, to be kind.

If you raise, what's calling you that you beat and also takes villain's line? Only a worse flush I think, and other hands look much more likely, given his line. So raising is bad.

Pretty easy call.
