Can I ever call here, I bet two streets and got called so FD is a large part of his range here along with many pairs. But essentially only FD are betting into on riv I'm guessing. Lets hear your thoughts.

If you are going to raise PF make it $1.25-$1.50 to go..I do not use the pot button out of the blinds as you have already put in a bet so the raise is then undersized..

I think it's a safe river fold...You could make a river blocking bet obv folding to a raise..

yeah I agree with the blocking bet on the river. I also think you should have bet more preflop for a few reasons. I tend to look at a limp as dead money, and I think a bigger bet preflop might be a better idea. you'll be playing the hand out of position the rest of the way and a bigger bet may get him off of his hand.
