    There is a good chance you're beat here but I still call. $11 donks show up with Tx, QQ or something weird like 88-99 or a busted flush draw often enough to make calling +EV considering the size of the pot already.

    That said, I would probably bet the flop and turn a little harder, say 220 and 500 respectively. That way, the river isn't even a decision.

    I actually think your ahead quite a bit here. Its a button vs. blinds situation so the BB might be calling somewhat wide. Even though the river bet is essentially a pot-sized bet, not many people make value bets like this with 2-pair or better (because the turn should be a scare card for the hand your representing). I wouldnt be surprised to see A7 or a diamond draw here. Villian could also have Kx and actually think his hand is good. It also helps that villians has a 22 STR on startracker (only through 80 games but still).

    I don't think you're beat if the opponent is a random player and not a regular..

    a)missed diamond draw(angry shove on the river, so typical)
    b) overvaluing hands because it's BvB (so typical)

    I'd call..
