Can anyone find a fold here??

I was very unsure here as i was calling the river, how often do ppl think im beat in this spot. Is this an instant call without reads?? Thanks in advance.

what do you think im up against in this spot? Is a set betting on the turn here, a check raise seems more appropriate?

[Hattifnatt]

He is not bet only in to you.. He must also be afraid of SB. My guess it is an absurd hand like a flushdraw including the 2 or a weird played set/big pair.

Villain is playing his hand weakly, you can take him off a weaker hand. You'll get more value from your JJ here too.

If i feel he is holding a weaker hand, isnt this situation WA/WB, and i should just call to induce a river bet? (assuming i think im ahead)

Nah, your hand is very vulnurable. Two flushdraws and lots of straightdraws out there.

Without any reads, it's a tough decision, leaning toward folding. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. If you have reads, it makes it a somewhat easier decision. There are players who play sets like that. If you're sure he's bluffing on a draw that didn't get there, call. He certainly is playing it that way. You need to know you're player. I certainly couldn't fault you for calling with the overpair.
