Huge pot, 99 again (30/60)

[mach3]

This hand got interesting quickly. Looked great to me on the flop, I wasn't worried about the BB's checkraisae - I put him on A7 immediately, but then MP2 capped it. I feared a set or 2 pair (67s)? BB led the turn so I decided to see where I stood - MP2 just calls? Have to lead the river after that. Thoughts?

If BB is reasonable, I'd consider check-folding the river (if MP2 bets and BB calls). I don't see how you're ahead.

Really - even after everyone slowed down on the turn?

If BB is reasonable, he's gonna put you on an overpair after you 3-bet the flop, and then MP just call-capped, and yet he still bets into you two on the turn. Looks like he has two pair and is afraid of a set. MP either has a set or some kind of draw. I think calling the turn and folding if MP raises might be ok as well. If I had no read on BB I'd want to see a showdown unless the board got too scary so in that case your line is probably ok. If he's very reasonble, I call the turn and fold the river if I can't beat 76 (assuming MP doesn't raise the turn).
