72s in the BB.

[Entity]

Here's an odd one.

$1/2 at Bodog poker. Most players are a bit on the weak/tight side, with a few loose-passives thrown in. I've seen no genuine TAGs and only a few LAGs.

2 limpers to me, SB folds, and I check in the BB with 72s.

Flop (3.5SB) comes 724 rainbow.

I bet, one limper folds, other limper calls.

Head's up to the turn for 5.5SB.

Turn comes with a 3 completing the rainbow.

I bet, limper raises. I call (??).

River is an 8. I check/fold.

I'm thinking I either need to fold the turn or call the river. Which do you think is better?

Call the river for sure. He probably has AA and thinks he is tricky. Or he has A5, but whatever.

Agreed.

I seem to get stuck in these situations a lot. Without a counterfeiting pair on board (where an overpair would beat you), I think I have to call this down.

Why won't you call this down for one bet on the river. I can see folding with a more marginal holding, but you have two pair.

What about 3-betting the turn?

Since you didn't, definetly call the river.

I dunno, maybe I should've just called this one down. I think I could've folded the turn as well; that might've been a bit of a brain fart.

Does everyone think I'm good here > 20% of the time (2:8.75, I think)?

[kyro]

I agree with the majority. Easy call down. I like the idea of 3betting the turn too, whoever said that.

The only way I'm 3-betting this turn is if I can fold to a cap.

What hand ranges do you guys put villain on?

Yeah, I think you're good around 25% of the time. He could have a crappier two pair than you or maybe he has an overpair and he called the flop to raise you on the turn when the bet size doubled.

I would say you should call it down.
