Way behind or slightly ahead, how's my line?

UTG is 38/18/2.2
BB is 67/9/.5

On the flop, i figured he might have a flush, or he might just have TP. I was initially going to raise the turn and then fold to a 3 bet, but then the turn brought me odds to draw to the boat when my 2nd pair came. Comments welcome on all streets. Smooth call turn and river? make crying call at end?

Turn raise is solid. This is a tough board for 2 pair but given villians laggish stats and the opportunity to extract bets from weak kings and draws I like it.

I know it looks like your killed on the turn but your getting 18:1 with 2 pair against a very aggressive villian, show it down.

I like your turn raise. I would almost always call the river, the pot is big and without a strong read, I believe it is an autocall.

1. I don't like folding this river at all. Since it was 17BB it seems like a really bad idea to me. UTG would probably play a worse Two Pair the same way. I'm not folding Top Two Pair here.

2. If I was scared of a set or flush, I'd rather just call the Turn and call another bet on this non-spade River.

Me too. While being beat very often, I think Hero will see a wrose two pair or overplayed singleton [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] + pair that he should call getting 18 or 19 to 1.
