Hit 2 pair on river... In bad position, raise or call?

[odawg09090]

I was very confused about this hand. The check-raiser is a 25/20/2.5 tag (very solid player) while the other guy in the hand is a fish (LP-- 78/3/.8). I was unsure about raising or calling the river. I decided to go for the fish's overcall. Good or bad?

I would go for an overcall here.

Easy overcall situation here. The J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] changes nothing for the button's hand so we will almost always have him crushed, while BB will prob have a straight often enough to warrant not raising here and trying to get button to call.
