Counterfeited 2 pair on the river, what to do?
Only my 5th hand at the table, but SB seems semi-loose preflop, aggressive postflop. Button looks like a loose-passive donk.

Now there's a higher pair on the table and if SB has a J I don't think my 5 kicker will play. Would you call this here? </font> |

Re: Counterfeited 2 pair on the river, what to do?
It's definitely close. Are you good 11% of the time? If you're only good 5% of the time, is learning what SB has worth the current -EV?
I'm posting this after having recently folded the best hand on the river in a fairly big pot when I figured there was no way I was good with 4 players still to act behind me and a decent chance of a raise. Consequently, I'm calling that. The anguish of having made Ed Miller cry makes it worth the call trying to atone. |

Against an unknown, I tend to call these and take a note, even if I'm pretty damn sure I'm dead. I think its worth it in the long run.
I'm going through a weak phase lately though, trying to bust out of it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: Counterfeited 2 pair on the river, what to do?
Given your read, I'd call and not feel bad if I lost. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if he hadn't raised the turn, because now it really looks like he has at least trip 6's, but I don't think I'd find a fold against the player you describe.

SB could have 77 and play it like that. No?

I think I would 3-bet the turn...

Re: Counterfeited 2 pair on the river, what to do?
Yeah, I was thinking about 3-betting the turn as well, but I didn't really want it to be capped, so I decided to get it to a SD as cheaply as I could.
The river kinda caught me off guard, threw my game plan in the toilet. |

Re: Counterfeited 2 pair on the river, what to do?
I don't mind your turn line. I'd like to see justifications for a 3-bet here. 6 of hearts is a nasty card to fall on the river. I'd call this river and hope SB turns over 45 or a semibluffed straight draw-pair combo but I'd say you are beat the majority of the time here.

Re: Counterfeited 2 pair on the river, what to do?
I'm 3 betting the turn. SB could well be raising with a lower two pair, a flush draw or a straight draw. I think you're good the majority of the time and the possibility of Button calling helps make this is a fairly easy 3 bet in my opinion.
Call the river, it looks bad but I think you're good here more than 1 in 9. |
