Party $25/6m: Pocket underpair vs. weak bettor

[otctrader]

SB is LAG with a stack, so my 2's are an auto-call. Here's my line - his half pot bet on the flop with the flush draw seems weak (wouldn't he pot/overbet to protect something) so I attack; I figure him for Ax or some broadway combo. Anyone bet the turn here? I wanted a cheap river and feared a checkraise.

I would have folded on the flop because twos suck and every card is an overcard. He gave you a good price to see a showdown, but what could you possibly beat? He raised preflop and there are 3 broadway cards on the board.
Did he raise preflop with K9? J7?

It's hard to find a hand you beat on that board.
At the river I'd call for the odds and sheer curiosity.

River call is horrible, the only thing you can beat is a bluff.

If you're going to bet out, do it on all streets if you really do put him on the flush draw.

Otherwise, fold on the flop, or check / fold the turn or river.
