Hi DecMate,

from: "After the Flop: No One Has Initiative"
There's an old rule in poker: Never go broke in an unraised pot. It may only be a rule of thumb, but the point is clear enough: You need a very strong hand before you turn a small investment into a big one.

You do have a strong hand, 'tis true, but there are many stronger, and many of those fit a limping range.

I'm not sure myself what I would do here, but I think the river fold was wise.

I'm curious to see what others think of this spot.

I think a fold is good here. Yeah you have two pair but villain has a lot of hands that beat you here. He's limped in so SC's (45), PP's (22, 33, 88), Ax (A2, A3, A8) hands are all in his range. And don't forget the flush combos he can have. I'd say your fold is good.
