BB is TAG, no reads on other two.

Not sure about flop and river. Thoughts appreciated.

Perfectly played.

My only thought is that there might be a case for bet/folding the flop because the pot is so small. However, the cold call from MP1 gives you good enough (implied) odds to call one sb planning to check/fold the turn unimproved.

If there wasn't the ccer i was b/fing the flop. I started to hate my river bet after i made it though and I still do. c/c seems bad too (maybe c/f?). But i think betting is the worse of two evils. When in doubt, i seem to bet too much.

I do not see why. Maybe I deserve to...

I do not think folding should be an option here. I like bet/call. I can also live with c/c. But I can fold here. Maybe I'm missing something?

7:1 immediate odds with the possibility of two or three BB in later rounds if we hit.

Hero's two pair was counterfeited on the river. BB's likely hand is now aces up. I'm not folding this for one more bet on the river, so I think a bet/fold line is okay. If BB gets out of line a lot, then check/call is better. This is because you don't want to fold the best hand or put two bets in the pot with a likely losing hand; moreover, if BB is tricky, he's likely to take another stab at the pot when you check.

But against most villains, I think this is an appropriate time for the bet/fold line. (This coming from someone who tries to avoid bet/fold whenever possible.)

Well, I need some sleep as I did not realize this.

I agree with the bet/fold line here since checking lets villain bet his good hands for value and check behind with his worse hands.

Thanks again.
