I opened to 5BB's in an attempt to get the hands heads-up. Its my standard raise size. I bet flop to get value from lesser pairs, straight, and flush draws. Villian checks the turn and I continue for value. Villian check raises me, but I feel like I have to call given that I still have outs to the nut straight. River pairs the board and Villian checks again. I go all-in as I believe that I counterfeited Villians two pair before the river. Althought looking back I should have questioned what two pairs the Villian had as I only bet KJ and QJ and KQ improve to a full house.

Should I have folded to the check raise on the turn? Should I have played any street differently? I have been playing poker for a few years, but never studied the game outside of playing.

Thank you.

Either check the flop or bet small. When you bet big vs two opponents on a dangerous board and get called, you are likely in trouble. Think about the sorts of hands that call a 5x raise preflop: KQ, KJ, QJ, AT, T9 type of hands - you are stuffed against all of these. What are you hoping to get a call from other than flush draws (and AhXh has a lot of equity against you).

Fold to the theck-raise. You bet big again, showing a lot of strength yourself. You are very clearly against a strong hand.

On the river, you now lose to QT as well and busted flush draws will fold to your bet. The only hand you have overtaken is KJ (which will probably fold to your bet). What would you have done if the SB had shoved?

A little on the large side pre, but if it's standard than it's fine.

Check flop, but if you are going to bet, size up. Too wet of a board to give those sexy odds.

Check back turn, even with odds, river is a fold. This is at least trip Q's way too often.

I like a cbet of 1.20 on flop, check down, maybe call a river bet depending on size. I don't see what you would beat on the river.
