Poker Stars, $3.19 Buy-in (60/120 blinds, 15 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 3 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 5,111 (42.6 bb) VPIP:68, PFR:44, HANDS:41
Hero (BB): 2,455 (20.5 bb)
BTN: 1,434 (12 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9♥: 7♥:
BTN folds, SB raises to 240, Hero calls 120

Flop: (525) Q♣: A♦: 7♠: (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: (525) 2♦: (2 players)
SB bets 120, Hero calls 120

River: (765) 5♦: (2 players)
SB bets 765, Hero ???

I would fold there, I think mostly I am beaten. Does anyone would attack the flop when he does not cbets?

It’s already tricky to defend this hand with 97s against the big stack on the bubble. I would most likely still fold and try to attack the short stack instead if he’s tight and the big stack isn’t attacking him much.

As played I don’t see a reason to bet the flop with bottom pair. You have some thin showdown value and get him of a better hand will be tough. The river is a fold for sure. Even with the knowledge it’s a fantastic spot for him to bluff on you.

Cheers,

fold pre, especially if SB is that active post as well.
Only if we rock postflop play or we have solid reads on SB's postflop leaks we could defend (because 79s is a nice hand to defend with).
