First real response to a hand (feedback on my thoughts would be appreciated also)

Also, not a short handed player...

As played I fold to the river bet, but would prefer leading the river with a blocking bet (1/2 pot) and dump it if it's raised. I think I'm ok with the rest of the hand. Anyone?

With no reads, block the river. As played, call the river.

That 2 doesn't mean anything on the turn or river. He is playing this like he flopped a set or straight and was trying to be cute. The problem with blocking the river is that you are getting great odds to call his push. Since FT is tighter in general, I going to give villain credit for a hand here and say fold on the river.

Lead the turn for more than 1/2 the pot. You're slowing down, and villain can read this for weakness and attack the pot. If you lead the turn for 15 or 20, it will be much easier to fold to a raise, and you'll keep AK/AJ on their heels.

Lots of weakness here...the turn bet is terribly weak, and the lack of a blocker on the river is too.

Gotta play two pair faster and stronger. You'll find out pretty quick if you need to lay down.

well , I think a set here is very unlikely AA QQ he reraise preflop, and i have a T , 22 is impossible
Im really afraid here of AQ or KJ , well this time he was a complete donkey with 54s.... but the result here i think doesnt matter

I think you're crushed here. But I see villains minraise this turn with a lone ace with the plan of checking behind the river, so calling the turn raise is okay. Check/fold the river though.

astro,


I'm calling the turn to fill up. Your turn line is okay.

River: Fold to a lead for all-in. I'd expect to see the straight far too often here.
