Default Hand that doesn\'t feel good at all (pokerstars 500 buyin)

Blinds are 75/150. I'm in the SB and call with QJo after two late position callers. BB checks. Ive about 3500 chips

Flop is J73 rainbow and i bet out 300 in a 650 pot. BB raises to 750. BB is very aggressive and seems good. I call.

Turn is a 2 putting two diamonds on the board. I check and he bets 1050. I call after some deliberation.

River is the Td. I check, he bets 1350. I fold.

I think you should feel good folding this one...doubt that I could have...but reading this out of the heat of battle it sure looks like 2 pair to me...

You need to either fold or go all-in on the flop or the turn. Either that or get to the river with a plan of calling any bet.

I fold. When BB raises into two players still to act without any clear draw on the board, I've got to think he has me beat, and unless you think you can get him to drop KJ, AJ, maybe even two pair with a reraise, I really think folding is the best option.

I hate being SB, and this is why.

it seems like you didnt have a good plan on the flop. when you are raised and call you are for sure going to face a big bet on the turn with no idea where you are in the hand. calling the turn is even worse. you have to get all in here on the flop or turn or fold, but calling is the worst option.

Why not just bet the pot on the flop and really see where you are at, he could have read the 300 as weak and decided to take shots. I would be the pot on the flop, and than if called check and fold, cause you are 85% of the time beat I think.
