BB has been laggy so far.. picking up two pots from me when I had AK and AQ on rag flops.. and winning a couple hands in a row right before this one..

How's my line?

Lol, beat him in the pot.

2-5?

Yeah.. the main thing I'm wondering is if I should have pushed the turn..

I didn't have alot of chips to make two value bets so I was a little confused.

I might even check the turn. The board is fairly innocuous. Your line is fine, if you got beat by 99 or 52 then so bet.

I'd be very happy to put 'em in. If SB's got 2 5, he's an idiot for paying that much to draw to a gut shot. More likely two pair, heck, maybe HE just made a set. You couldn't rule out a very weak Ace. And a terrible bluff isn't beyond these players either.
