I think I actually would've raised more than the min on the river... I would've raised full pot, which I think would be $22, and would've been ready to call his push here... There's no way you can see that weird straight coming, especially when your eyes light up from smacking your 2pr...

That's just one of those hands that is REALLY hard to get away from... Like hitting trips when someone else was chasing the flush... And, he threw out a nice value raise that seems pretty enticing...

Yeah this was the kind of hand where I wanted to keep the pot small, until I had more of a cinch on the hand ie. trips, 2 pair.

I called pretty fast and kinda figured him for a smaller 2 pair, namely K7.

I think you played it too passively on the flop and turn. Hes betting out from the BB...could be second pair...it's a good time to put him to the test and raise that $3.50 to like $9.

Also I would have bet the turn when he checks.

I liked the BB's play.

Raise the flop...bet the turn when checked to (even though thats what he wanted you to do this time)

I like the BBs flop bet, but I think he shouldve bet the turn. At least a weak lead.
