Here is a twin of your hand:

Was this a stupid call down? Would you have called the river bet? I hope for interesting answers.

I don't think that's anything like my hand.

I haven't the slightest idea if it is a stupid call-down... you've got no reads in your post and you're asking me to critique it.

I didn't put reads in my post because I wasn't asking people to critique it... the hand was just an example.

But as to your hand, I have no idea if it is stupid for BB to call-down, or are you asking about your river call?

If I was in your position I may have wondered what hands he could 3-bet pre-flop that wouldn't beat me. About the only one I can come up with is KQs. KQs isn't betting that river, though, unless it's a bluff, and I have no reads that he does that.

Another question to ask is if he flopped 4 Aces what would it gain him to bet? The only street where it is important for him to bet so it wouldn't get checked through would be the river.

I hope this is interesting enough.

Edit: If you are asking about his call-down, and you actually did win by beating his pocket pair, then I would say he played pretty bad pre-flop, but post-flop his call-down isn't so bad since you just raised/called pre-flop meaning your range could very easily include hands like KQs, KJs, maybe even QJs. Especially if MP2 is a bad player and you might be isolating him.

This hand is more like my first hand:

All the villains in this hand are VPIP 60+, CO and Button I've only seen a couple spins around the table, but CO did post in UTG with a 5BB buy-in.
