River only questionable spot I think

A decent hand reader has to see your hand as a 2 pair type hand that the river card just screwed. But then again most players dont like getting checkraised 3 times in one hand. So they might check JJ-AA.

Or they might fold to a check/raise...

Its an interesting thought. If the CO folds it doesnt have to work very often to be profitable. Very player oriented though. Dumping AA-JJ here isnt something a lot of players would do.

river is interesting.
Like pokerplayer said, a decent hand reader would see your two pair here.
If you bet, you may get crying calls from KT/AT, though I would expect those to fold the river or turn quite a bit considering you raised a protected turn and they're not closing the action.
The bad part about checking is, even if villain can fold Tx, you miss value from CO
Teh key here is, if we check, how often will villain bet.
I think he will bet around half the time. I mean unless you guys are at the "I know he knows I would check two pair here, so I'd check a straight here and he might know that" type level.
Anyway just random ghoughts.
I would probably check too, because I'd rather just showdown cheap and it appears CO has 7x and isn't calling a bet.

Yeah, I was just throwing it out there. I would have to have a very specific read to do something like that. And it would be better if CO called, because then MP would see it as a protected pot, and would probably put me on a FH or a straight.

Yeah. I think the biggest reason to check has to do with how often MP will raise because he just counterfeited 2 pair. Given how strongly I played the hand, I doubt that he raises very often, and so I probably should have bet.
