I like how you played it, including the riverbet. Sound reasoning too.

I'd call teh river on the off chance of a bluff/ valueraise with lower two pair or a set.

I know that i've minrasing in villains position with top2 and getting called with worse 2pair so i call this after swearing a few seconds!

[goofyballer]

Turn is good, call river.

I like your play up to the river.

I don't think I like betting this river as it sets you up to be bluffed off the best hand and imo the little value we get my betting is lost by the chance that the villain might seize this opportunity to bluff raise.

Also its going to be hard for villain to call you with two pair here, and what kind of two pair would he have that he does not raise the flop with and/or bet the turn when checked too with?

As played though I am calling as well.

[traz]

Am I the only one who cc's the river? =/

I figure most 2pair hands are raising the flop, and this guy is likely to have k's, hearts or some other form of air.

At first glance, I don't really see the value in betting?

[ahnuld]

pretty much fine, think you gotta call given the great odds

Well, given this is a BvB situation and the turn was checked around, doesn't he look me up with two pair pretty often? And he's certainly calling with two pair more often than betting with it.

I don't think betting the turn with two pair in his spot is automatic either, as he might want to show it down and avoid getting c/r'ed.
