I probably should have pushed on the turn.
But I didn't.

So, call the river or not?

Re: Second pair counterfeited on river
 

I would have probably pushed on the turn, not on the flop though because of your crap kicker. An all-in move on the turn would have probably scared him away.

This looks fine to me. You're probably beat, but you're getting ~3.5:1 on the call, so I'd make it. It could be a weak bluff at a missed draw with 45s or something.

Also, I bet $0.75 on the flop.

what's with the lead min-bet? i think i've seen you do this in several of your hands...

pot the flop...take a stab and find out if you're already ahead.

bet the pot, raise the pot, convince him that you have him beat or let him convince you that he has AJ or better.

check-fold the river.
