Just had a few bad suckouts in this session. Need some comments if the line I had taken is correct.

dont call 2 bets cold on the river with one pair unless you have a damn good reason to.

I think you can raise the turn here on that card, but I think the flop play is fine. BB seems aggressive enough to play top pair this way. I would fold the river as played.

I really don't like calling two cold on the flop. I'm really not sure that 12:2 with tptk and a bdfd is enough. What kind of range would you put BB on to cool call two?

I am not a fan of the flop either, but since a couple of you agree with this line I think I may be playing these situations suboptimally. On the flop I tend three bet unknowns, but will fold if I am against more passive villains. What is the plan after we call the two cold on the flop. Are we planning on raising or folding the turn?

Calling BB's flop raise is good as there are a lot of turn cards that can greatly affect the value of your hand. Having done that though, you should raise the turn for value/protection.
As played, fold the river. I don't see top pair being good here often enough.

I would put BB on 99,TT,JJ, some kinda overcards heart flush draw, KJ, JQ, AJ and little possbility of AK.

But at these limits, folding would be -EV. players raise with all kinds of things on the flop.

I have backdoor flush draw, and 5 more outs (A,J) which might give me top hand.

Raising turn might be correct, but I'll only be pushing SB out if he's holding on to AK (he'll face 6:1 pot odds with my raise, and drawing too slim since his A outs are useless.)

But actually BB seems like a retard. He called on the flop, but donked out on the turn when a rag fell.

It's perfect so far. Folding the flop is absurd. We have BB beat ~always. I don't like raising the turn because if SB attempts some lame c/r we can get away pretty easily.
