Hi everyone! I have no reads on this player. On the river when both flush and straight draws complete I wasn't sure about what to do. I decided to bet small so he might call with worse. When I got raised it seemed obvious to me that he had a flush, maybe a straight so I folded. However afterwards I realized that his raise wasn't that big and maybe I should've called. What do you think?

I would just fold it on the river. On these stakes people aren´t really capable of thin valuraises with 2 pair. So it´s more likely a straight or flush. I would just fold.

On river we should fold as straight and flush complete.
How about a squeeze preflop?

I would squeeze pre. OTR we can fold since villain at this level doesn't bluff raise rivers.

Most said already, but bet bigger on both flop and turn. There are innumerable draws and two high cards that hit the two of them, so betting big for value is he way to go here.

(Of course, you'd lose much more playing that way - this time.)

Thanks guys. Glad that I made the right decision on the river.
It is true that I should consider a squeeze more often in these situations, as well as betting bigger on the flop and turn.
