Playing 7 handed in a 1-2 game on the button in the big blind looking down at 5,6h. Have been playing pretty tight during the night 2 hours into the session.

Villian in this hand is a 30 something year old who plays pretty tight and is not the best player. I often see him see mistakes and overvalue cards. Almost always continuation bets.

Folds around to villian who is in the cut off and raises to 7. I have played barely any hands and seeing as he is a bad player I decide to call (typing this now I realise it was a poor decision and I should of just folded)

Flop comes 5c,10c,Jd
He bets 8
I call with my bottom pair as I know he is continuation betting either way and there is a good chance he is betting with nothing.

Turn comes 10h
He checks, and I check also.

River comes 6h, completing my 2 pair. What should I do here?

I think you can call/fold/3! that hand IP so no issues with preflop.

That flop sucks for your hand with little chance to improve. So options are fold or begin an elaborate multi-street bluff and hope to make V fold. I would choose fold and wait.

Without more information can't really say about preflop. What are stack sizes? Short this is a fold, with medium stacks fold>call>raise but you should call/raise sometimes, really deep call>fold>raise. How does villain react to 3 bets? If he folds then 3 betting looks better, if he always calls then flatting/folding look better.

Flop depends on how villain will continue. If he will check his air on the turn and bet his value hands then call sometimes and try to get to a cheap river if you don't improve. If he is likely to barrel then just fold. You have 3rd pair and no draw potential.

Shorn I am actually OOP, in the big blind.

I have a stack of 180, villian 400. I believe he will call a 3bet with a jack or better, will probably fold with anything less. He usually does not barrel twice unless he is strong.

Preflop is fine as long as stacks are around 100bb.

You should probably bet the turn if you are going to call the flop here, as the bet works as a value bet against AK and a bluff vs. 88. I would want a stronger hand that blocks more of his draws like QJ or 99 before checking back. The 6 on the river changes nothing since your 2 pair is counterfeited by the tens on the board. On the river Im just checking back if he checks to me. You might get a crying call from ace high with a small bet, but not often enough to make it a good bet.

the hand action implies he was acting first every street which is not right if you are in the bb and he is in the co. Its hard to give you advice on a hand if we cant get accurate positions and action.

I am usually not defending my bb against a late position raise with a suited connector. You will miss the flop a lot and when you do hit they are often playing a weaker range that wont pay you off. I would much rather defend my button with them.

Was hard to tell as your intro said both BTN and BB so I went with action after flop where it looked like he bet first.

So, ez fold pre...no other option and AP ez fold now a well.

I'm just going to point out that you had 2 pair on the turn. There is a pair of 10s on the board and your pair of 5s. The fact that the 6 pairs on the river just means your 5s no longer play. While you now would be beating someone who had 5x, that's an extremely small portion of his range.

I think OP needs to start over again and get his information posted properly in order to get good advice here. He said he's on the button and in the BB, then posts the hand history as if he's on the button, then later says he's in the BB in a subsequent post. Then he says he rivers 2 pair when he actually counterfeit his 2p of 10s and 5s by now having 10s and 6s.

So yeah, start over, buddy.

if youre going to play 56hh in the BB vs a CO open, then 3bet his ass with it. Now you have control of the hand, initiative, and can rep something real postflop. As played just fold the flop, the likelihood of your bottom pair holding up by the river to some random overcard he pairs up with is slim and youll just be guessing anyway. Dont be a calling station, either fold the flop or preflop, or take the hand by playing it stronger. Of course you can give up if he gives serious resistance but you're at least barreling the turn to get him off, especially with your tight image.

Yeah absolutely botched that post, sorry about that. I was first to act on each street made a mistake typing it and was just thinking like an idiot saying I made 2 pair on the river. Good first post by me.
