i couldnt bring myself to bet this. i really wanted to and i think it is the right move, just curious if others think there is some value here. my thinking at the time was he probably wont call with 2 pair here, but in retrospect he probably wouldve.

villain is unknown basically. he played 4 or 5 orbits and seemed donkish fwiw.

that s not a reason to check behind

this only applies if you think villain is quite capable of CR bluffing
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

You need to bet this, although you're really love to have less money behind. Uhhhh...

just bet big enough that villain thinks you have a straight or are bluffing. then if he checkraises its not even a decision. Id bet like 66$
