Final Board: 9♥: 8♣: K♣: Q♦: 2♦:

MP wins $15.18

My villain is fish: 41/20, AF river 4,05, W$SD 42

I think that I should fold this river raise, because:

a) this is river raise
b) This river blank isn't good card to bluff so he doesnt represent nothing beside monsters.

But I'm not sure, I have strong two pairs vs fish. Maybe is he able to play this way with sth like 89 or Q9?

I do not like the donk bet on the flop and also your sizings - they pretty much indicate exactly what you have - strong hand on the flop that gradually loses equity to the point of blockbet / fold.

I am with Fanko on this one. Check/Raising the flop would have been I better way, I think.
Check/Call on the River seems a good line. I are not sure if u are ahead and his AF River 4,05 looks like he could bluff it.

As played: OTR fold is correct. nasty spot. But JT, KQ and the occasional sets hav u beat.
