[NL2] 55 Showdown Call

I think it's close. We need to win in 20% of cases, so probably a call is fine.

I might find a fold. Most combos you will get are X-10 (Ace can be discounted). and pockets 66+ These are quite some combos. Even if SB would bet air, would MP just call this? I wonder with you behind him. It could easily be that you had A-2+ and tried to bluff catch the river.

I would have fired the flop since you have position and the flop is actually quite good for you (straight draw, second best pair). If someone would call, you would be up against either a draw or a higher pocket, an Ace would be quite unlikely since they would bet this one.

Hope this helps, good luck at the tables!

With bet and call in front we can fold.

You could take over the pot already on the turn.

Yeah, I agree with that. The general rule for multi-way pots is that if all the players check twice, you should try to steal the pot. This is from w34z3l's Red Line Rampage series, I believe. Sometimes we might actually have the best hand here, but it could change by the river, so I like betting the turn. Also, we definitelly have a good fold equity.

IMO it's very easy river fold and please don't stab on the turn. Only betting 1/2 on the flop makes sense, but x is good too.

c/c c/c c/f IMO versus bet and call

You are not ahead often enough; you will see all sort but generally all sort will beat you one way or another in this spot. If you are good once in a 100 still does not make it a right call.

The bet on turn makes sense as after both of them x twice we can have the best hand and as our pair is very low, we are afraid of every higher river...

the issue is that you are betting losing the action on a card that will open a lot of GS at the very least, so you might get called (at NL2 especially by any 4x, 5x, Jx, Qx, any diamond FD + any hands that have you beat already. so if you are beat you are just inflating the pot. If you are not you are protecting yourself but if you face any aggression on the river, you will have to shut down
