Raising seemed like spewing (and I really didn't want to get 3bet); folding seemed weak. As it went, I just felt dirty.

Edit: No read at all. This is the second hand we've played together.

I just call preflop, the rest looks fine. I find a turn fold without the gutshot though.

I feel inclined to fold here on the turn, and if we're good here, villian will often have 9,13,21 outs.

Running a 43% range for villain, our equity is at 32%, but our equity must be lower for his range of hands that donk the turn. We should assume we need to call 2 BB to win 6 at this point. Yes, we only need 25% equity to make this breakeven, but do we really have that against his range at this point? He might even give up on the river with his bluffs/semibluffs so you may end up winning less when ahead and more when behind. But he might also give you a free showdown with his 9x,8x, and 7x hands to compensate for this.

I don't know, I would habitually fold this spot, but that may be wrong, and I wouldn't know what to think of most river cards.
