I think my bet of $90 is good. Once I get called, however, its obvious that my opponents are on a straight draw with overcards. Therefore, I should check rather than bet $390. Once I'm raised, however, I think that this is a very easy fold. Calling is suicide!


Suerte,

Betting out 390 with 2 pair on a board like this is not good, you cannot call that raise either, you know what he has, you should let this go and bet less on the turn too.
You only have 4 outs to win on the river there is no point in chasing it.
