Hero $320

Hero has been raising some pots (88, 99, TT) to typically $7 only to fold to 3bets with short stacks. Being playing for two hours. Hero not losing, not winning, just about even. Image not of a NIT but average. VpIp (20/18)

Villian 1 (275) Older white guy (60's maybe) probably a reg at Mirage. Made Cbets with mid pocket pairs with 1 overcard. Values pocket pairs and will call 3 bets OOP with 77+ KJ+

Hero btn raises 10 with KQ

10 handed.
V1 Limp calls, SB, BB Fold.
Heads up

Flop
Q102

V1 checks, Hero bets 20
V1 calls. Pot 63 (prerake)

Turn
K

V1 checks, Hero bets 35
V1 check raises all in. V clearly announces $245 more.
Hero tanks, says, I have two pair, show if I fold??? Villians says Okay...

What do you got???

60yo regs prob not calling a near-pot c-bet with a gutter here, so AJ is heavily discounted. Also, he prob bets smaller with the immortal nuts. J9 is possible, if he has that in his l/c range, but I think sets and two-pair afraid of a straightening board are much more likely.

I prob fold here. There may be some worse hands in his range, but when a 60yo limp-calls and raises a turn, I usually want better than top two.

I'm folding OTT, his range looks like mostly sets and straights when he c/jams.

Fold b/c the bet is so big. I don't think villain is tryin to exploit you. You can have AJ, J9s, KK, QQ, TT and 22 to call with. Unless I've seen him bluff I would fold 22 as well.

Thanks all.

I thought, asked him to show if I fold, he said sure.
I opened folded KQ.

He showed...


AJ

This reinforces that 60 year old white guys don't check raise bluff turns or rivers. Two pair facing this action is at best a bluff catcher.
