Funky two pair versus a big river bet (NL50)

[ama0330]

No stats but villains are both unremarkable. I saw dallerup raise to 3.50 with 77 preflop, so nothing really there.

Seat 4: dallerupX ($58.55 in chips)
Seat 5: HERO [ 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif,7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif ] ($76.15 in chips)
Seat 6: triglau ($46.50 in chips)
Seat 8: BIG SUG ($58.75 in chips)
Seat 10: Smally83 ($85.25 in chips)

Fold. Raise the flop.

[ama0330]

fwiw pot size on the river is $14

Actually, now that I look at the hand a bit more, I think I like a call. I'd put villain on a FD and maybe he made TP on the river. But it's still a hard decision.

Why aren't you protecting your hand?

[Rochus]

Definatly reraise with two pair here, you don't want to play against two Villains with top two pair on that board. I'd call the river... but the check call on the turn really looks like he's on a draw.

Villain has Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif4/images/graemlins/heart.gif? Guessing that because that's the only hand I'd make that EXACT play with if I'm villain...

[Reckless Rick]

you should definitely raise the flop and put in a pot size bet on the turn of about 6$. Villian is very likely on a flush draw here or has one pair. Any other card decreases the value of your hand unless you boat up. The way you played this you are faced with a very difficult decision on the river. I probably still call here since worse hands like single pairs or also busted draws could make this bet.
