Is this one of these situations where I should have folded to a river bet... eventhough the pot is relatively large?

This hand is fine. You will rarely win this pot, but you will probably take it down 10% of the time IMO.

Anyone like raising (without any reads)?

I would, if only because BB showing TT and MP2 showing a busted flush draw would make me want to stick a spike in my eye.

He only has to be good one time in twenty (more or less) for the call to be correct, no? Maybe it's weak play, but I'd call the river bet every time...

I'm not sure of the benefit of raising... he might have put Hero on AA-QQ and assumed MP2 was on the flush draw, and have bet out with something like middle pair to try and scare Hero out of the pot. That said, if BB had the J he'd call/3-bet, so raising gains you nothing more than a call here, but you stand to lose more?

Correct me if I'm horribly wrong, I'm not good at poker.
