Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

what shpanko said - shove or bet $40ish. I guess it depends on how you have been playing at that table etc.

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

i put villain on a range of {AK-AT, A9, A8, 89, 88, 99, TJ, 67} and obv the 2 pair hands and worse are more likely just based purely on combinations. which makes my flop and turn line sorta questionable i guess.

anyway i ended up misreading stacks like a donk and thought villain had me covered, so i went for a river ch/rai. i immediately regretted it even before villain mad me feel stupid by checking behind with A9s.
and even if stacks were deeper a river shove is still way better than a check.
