This is a super-easy river fold. You're good ~0% of the time.

The flop and turn are the interesting streets on this hand. I'm not leading this turn into three opponents.

Preflop: good

Flop: This is actually only a ok flop for you (very draw heavy). I'd check and evaluate the action.

Turn: Terrible card. Mostly I'm going to just check/fold. If BB bets and both other guys call you can probably peel.

River: I wouldn't bet. You can probably make a crying call if somebody bets because of the size of the pot. As played fold to the raise.

Flop action: We have top pair, decent kicker but we are first to act with a preflop raiser next in line. Like mentioned before there are straight and flush draws out there. I like the check and evaluate line ... if the preflop raiser c-bets and nobody else gets out of line we'll close the flop action.

As played your river bet and the villain raise bloats the pot to 12BB. I'd like a read on the opponent to help make this last decision, but our two pair doesn't beat much more than a bluff at this point.

Why bet the flop?

[tyler_cracker]

don't donk the goddamn flop.

[LukeSLTS]

I prefer to check the flop here with the preflop aggressor to your immediate left.

On the turn I would check after I got the four calls on the flop.

Once you get to the river the best option is clearly checking. If you check and the action goes bet/call or bet/raise it is an easy lay down. If it goes bet/fold I think you can lay it down also. You check might get MP2 to bluff his busted flush draw so I would call if the action went check/bet. After you lead out I don't think calling the river raise is +EV. Once in a while you will run into someone with a ridiculously high river AF and then you need to make this call but the vast majority of the time this is an easy laydown.

op, i challenge you to name one reasonable hand you beat on the river after the raise.

Uh, that's about it...

I don't think I'd donk into the PFR on the flop...
