HU 30/60 vs NMcNasty: Made Hand Turned Into a Bluff

[emerson]

[ QUOTE ]
I'm trying to learn the ways of HU limit. NMcNasty is a tough, very good player that I'm definitely a dog against. We've been playing very aggro but he's definitely been running me over to some extent.

Obviously my hand has some showdown value so if he'll never fold better I should call but I figured just in case he was making a thin value bet with two pair and could find a fold I might as well throw in the extra bet to take the pot.

Or does anybody fold on this river?

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I don't like the river raise. Too many things beat you now and none of them are folding. All you beat is a pair of sevens. A straight, a flush, and a nine (or five) are all calling. I call.
