Anyone fold this?

This was my first hand at the table and I'd never played with this villian before. Anyone dump this to the river CR?

Big pot enamors me with calling, but I think it's a losing proposition.

w/ out a read you can't fold. The spot sucks, but I think you have to make the call.

I may be a bit passive on the river, but I prefer a check on the river here. There is a three straight and an over card on the board. No one can call you with anything that can't beat you.

I know this isn't the OP's question, but is this river bet standard against an unknown? I tend to check this without a read...

And yes, I'm unhappily calling the c/r. which is why I'm reluctant to bet.

sure you can...you can get called by any 5 6 or 7 that the SB thought, The PFR must have big cards, so my pair is good. I see a lot of value in betting the river.

The bet's standard if I can fold to a checkraise, which apparently nobody can. I'm not calling the checkraise, even if the pot's huge. I see a good value bet on the river, I see no value in calling the c/r.

I'm betting any river except maybe a four or eight. If I was only against one opponent, I'd bet any card. I value bet the river relentlessly. I believe it to be one of my strong points. To be honest, I wasnt particularly worried about an ace or king falling. I figured I was up against a low pair or some straight draw.

I would bet the river, calling the reraise would be a judgment call.

I think a river c/r into two opponents on a card that is hardly a scarecard, is very rarely a bluff. I would fold this and not lose any sleep over it.
