I am wondering how my flop and turn play is. I just called on the flop because I thought my hand had some showdown value and I picked up the backdoor straight draw. I checked turn because of unlikely but possible straight and did not want someone to play back at me with a possibility of rivering a real hand. Should I bet here? I think river is played correctly but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Flop call is bad when you have someone to act behind you and third pair with no redraw.

Call the river raise. It's unlikely he has worse than a 7 and lots of straights beat you.

Why fold the flop? This is live and the players are terrible, I could so easily have the best hand with the SB making a weak continuation bet.

Meh, forget that.

Reverse implied odds is why you fold the flop.

yeah, I'm not a fan of the flop call, but if you have that good of reads, then meh. embracing variance isn't scary. Yeah, I wouldn't 3b river. Just snap call and toke your dealer.
