Would you raise either the turn or the river? How afraid of the board pair should I be?

In looking over the hand again, although BB could have 25 or pocket 5's, theres a much greater chance he has something besides a full house, thus a raise would be in order- agreed?

I think I'd just call the river, although I think villian will show you trip 2s a heck of a lot more often than the boat. Or a smaller flush even, JMO.

I'd definitely cap the turn and if villain still bets the river, just call. If checked to, bet and call a check raise IMO.

call down...villan knows how to play from stats you gave...odds are he has the boat, but you cannot muck a nut flush here.

Cap the turn, call the river -- with a strong desire to raise the river. Only QQ, 55, 44 and some ugly hands beat you. I guess I'd just call the river, bet if checked to. I really think you win this enough of the time to make it worth putting more money in the pot.
