Bottom two pair in an unraised pot
 

Poker Stars 20+2 with no reads on villain. Besides the check on the flop, how bad is this hand played? Would you call the turn bet? What's the play on the River? I had 1000 chips left at river.

Re: Bottom two pair in an unraised pot
 

I like leading out on flop for 125-150 and playing it there. With the way the hand played I think you're beat and have to fold the river, I also maybe would've reraised allin on turn but not quite sure.

Also, if the stacks were deeper does anyone do a blovking bet on river or do you just check/call?

I think checking the flop was a mistake but once done I think you played the rest of the hand fine.
When he raises your almost pot-sized bet on the turn I'd be worried and you have to lay it down on the river.
Although why would he play a str8 that way? I'd guess a set or two pair that beat your two.
