folding a straight - hand advice

[forhasta]

Could anyone give me advice on whether a good fold? No reads on the player who put in the big river bet - he didnt seem to be a maniac or anything, fairly solid i reckon:

PF and Flop are meh

turn - either lead for pot or ch/r way bigger

river - bet pot. since you didnt, at least call. this is a villain wiht 2 pr really often and sometimes a set. only rarely are you beat by a flush or KJ
betting > ch/call > ch/raise >>>>> ch/fold

You should possibly be posting this in uNL instead of here in SSNL.

Why did you check the river? Given play leading up to that point, you're way ahead of villain's range. Therefore you should be betting to extract value.

[Sciolist]

Preflop looks fine to me.

Flop I can live with, you are getting 6:1 or whatever.

Turn you are betting too little. The pot is $5.25 and you are making it $2.50 more. I'd rather raise to $7 or so.

River, you are either going to bet for value, or check/raise for value. The latter line makes little sense because you have no reason to think he'll bet here. So, I would bet 2/3 pot and call a push.

i just fold the flop,

but as played i think u should be betting the river, if he pushed id probably call just because its $50nl.

Yeah, I think you really have to discount the backdoor flush here, which means that KJ beats you and nothing else.

17.25 to win 17.25 + 12.85 ~30, I'm calling the river.
