I seem to have problems playing hands like these quite often. Because I can't let go of them it's costed me in the past, so now I'm afraid I'm playing them too weak. I've seen players call flop bets with A-big kicker before with all under card flops, so that's why I get stuck here...

UTG+2 is currently 41/13/1.33 after 69 hands (just over 50 hands at the time of this hand), so I certainly wouldn't expect him to limp w/ something like AK or AQ...

How does my play look?

I'd call it and then check/call a 1/3rd to 1/2 pot size bet on the river. I'd fold it to a potsized bet. You could be behind 10/9, A/10, A/9, etc. However, some donk could've chased with a hand like ace jack and is raising you with top pair, so I wouldn't dump it right away.

Yep, I agree it's worth three bucks to see what size bet he makes on the river. He may have min-raised with top pair and only make a small value bet on the river

Well, I did indeed call, and the river was K/images/graemlins/heart.gif. I checked and he bet 4, and for what it's worth, he only had 6.25 when he made this bet, making it seem a bit more "calculated" and wanting a call...

Do you think I still have to call the final river bet?

Looking back through the hand, it just seems like the only hand I reasonably beat on the turn is AJ, and am behind everything else...

Maybe I read something wrong but isnt UTG+2s stack very small? Like he has only left 6$ at the river? If that is the case I either reraise him all-in at the turn or fold, because I simply cant get any good reads from his river bets if he has only a small stack left that most players would push in...
