that river bet is pretty weak, you might be able to get two folds with a push, but if you dont' want to go that route, i woudl lay it down.

Checkraise the flop with air. Make it 200+ if someone pots it. I wouldnt bet out because the pot is to small to be worth any protection against all the callingstations in a 20+2. If it gets checked around I would lead the turn, and 3bet if the turn is good (with air).

Very tempting... but i would try not to do that in a 20+2, you will get called by middle pair+ way to often.

Why?

[sweet wicking action]

because i flopped two pair? doesn't 'with air' mean that i'm basically making those moves with no showdown value?

edit: OP, fold. Sucky river card, but you can't overcall here [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

[sweet wicking action]

do i have any other options before the river? would an absurd overbet on the flop or turn be unjustified? seems like i stack unthinking AA/KK.

[mlagoo]

no, i think it was played fine. i might bet a little less on the turn. its fine.
