<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, Hero calls.
So the 7 is a bad card for and I was afraid of a strait here or possible Ax higher 2 pair but I feel I shoulda raised here nonetheless. This will henceforth be known as mistake #1
River: (9.00 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, BB folds, Hero calls.
Ok so once he checks I've gotta think my 2 pair is good here so I bet, but no I'm c/red? This smells like a better 2 pair but I feel I gotta call this b/c the pot is pretty big right?
Final Pot: 13.00 BB.
