I improve on the river and get check raised

[Evan]

SB stats look pretty reasonable but I don't have many hands on him so I didn't rely too heavily on that. I know it seems ridiculous to fold 2 pair in a 3 handed game without the board being absolutely horrible, but I have a hard time figuring out what I beat. There are abviously quite a few draws he could have on the flop, but I would be pretty surprised to see a busted draw try to steal the pot in this fashion. If he had a lone queen you'd have to expect him to put in more bets on the turn. Assuming that he likely won't check raise the river with less than top pair, which seems like a fair assumption, can I fold?

nasty spot, but nothing difficult, you have to call.

J4 as well as many little 2 pairs that slow played til river. In addition to AQ etc.

I guess 9T is possible, or J8, but I don't think I would be
able to fold. He could also have J4, or a busted heart draw.

The more I think about it, a fold is not bad, but without a read that he never would make a tricky play, you have to call.

[MrBig30]

I think a fold here getting 8.5-1 would be horrible against most players. He could easily have a worse hand that he thinks is best.

[Trix]

Think you will see a bluff often enough and sometimes a hand that he thinks is best. JT/J9 maybe. Also, it doesn´t look like you have that strong a hand and you could be on a draw, XXh or 96, so if he also thinks you will drops 8x, then a CR isn´t that bad from his spot.
