50NL: Unraised pot, 2 pr, facing river raise

[Daniel LeClaire]

Villain is unknown.

I usually bet out here but I thought my hand might have more value by c/c. On the river I can't really put him on a hand that would play that way. I'm getting pretty decent odds too.

Lead this flop, bet turn. I think I call this river bet because I really cant think of a hand that CO has.

PF: call is fine
Flop: Check is fine, obv.
Turn: my first instinct was to check again with 3 players behind, but I don't hate the bet. 3/4 is a good size and you hate to see another heart peel off.
River: This is about the best card you could hope for. It can't have helped anyone but you (unless someone has 33). I feel like a check/call would turn into a check/drag pot when he checks behind. It looks like a river raise bluff to me. I can't put him on a hand that beats you. I'm thinking busted FD or TPGK. Maaaaaybe QT, but that's a weird line to take with that holding. As played, I call.

Cliff notes: I wouldn't have done anything differently.

I agree your hand has a bit more value when you c/c, but you don't wanna risk it getting checked through like it did here. 98, J9, KJ and any lower hearts are calling your flop bet as well as AT and maybe KT. I like your turn bet, and I think I call the river because there are a lot of draws on the board that all missed and the only hand that he can really have that beats us is 22.

fold preflop. youre out of position with a poor hand. there arent too many flops that are good for you, this just happens to be one of them.
if you do complete pf, i would lead this flop and bet the turn.

as played, i call the river, villains line doesnt make much sense. the only thing he can have that beats u is 22 or 33. i think the more likely hand is a worse 2pr

Just wanted to make sure no one hated the call here. Villain had 22 obv.
