Hello Im new here, and I decided to give it a try to be more active on the forums. So here's my first post.

PREFLOP:UTG Villian1 calls 2BB the straddle (guy, donks a lot)
MP Hero A Q raise 12BB
all folds
straddle Villian2 calls 12BB (unknow, likely weak)
UTG Villian1 calls 10BB
FLOP: KQ7
V2 check
V1 check
H? [ I checked ]
TURN: K
V2 bet 65%
V1 fold
H? [ I called ]
RIVER:

With 100BB and a 1/1+2BB straddle you are effectively playing short stacked. With second pair and a good draw bet flop with a plan to shove most turns. You got the one turn that might force you to give up.

Once you check flop your guessing on the turn if you are ahead or behind. Stack sizes are going to leave you close to committed if you call so you really need to decide on turn if you plan to get it in or give up. As played, on the river make a read and go with it. Villain can be betting worse for value or bluffing the way you played this hand and you don't have much left but villain can also easily be crushing you.

Also it's better to use $ or BB consistently when describing action. Using percentages just makes it hard to figure the pot size.
