B & M 3/6 limit hold'em game, ten handed. I have [2d] on the button. Blinds are 1/2, but a raise is $3 more at this table(limp is only $2). 3 callers and the MP player raises. MP player(villian) has been playing pretty tight, and has only raised with AA and KK. Has also called down bets in position w/ sets, and top pair. Next two players fold, cutoff calls, I call, SB folds, BB calls and the first three limpers call. 7 to the flop.

Pot is $35. Flop is [5h][2h]. I feel pretty good about this one. Checks to the raiser, who bets the flop. Cutoff calls, I call, and not surprisingly, everyone else calls. 7 to the turn.

Pot is $56. Turn is . This is almost what I wanted, the flush appearing. But, I didn't want the straight flush draw to appear. Anyway, it checks to the MP guy, who also checks it. Then the cutoff bets it, and I decided to raise here. I'm not sure about this decision, but I was pretty happy with the pot size and figured I could take it down here. Everyone folds to the MP player who coldcalls two bets? and the cutoff looks at me and folds as well! So, heads up into the river.

Pot is $86. River is . MP IMMEDIATELY bets out. I get pretty unhappy, show my pocket twos and fold. I figure I can't beat a higher pair, so I don't want to throw away another $6. Should I have called this bet? Any way to play this one better?

Tough river but you are beat. Save your 6.00 in my opinion good fold.

I would have probably gone ahead and raised the flop hoping to trap alot of players in for 3 or 4 bets if the MP player reraised. Flush draws and alot of other hands will probably stay around trying to connect when they are drawing dead and the pot is already big due to the preflop action.

Thanks for the answer...I thought about raising the flop later, but I don't know if those guy would have run away if it was two bets. I did want them all to call and since it would have been two bets to four players, I couldn't see them calling there. Maybe I am getting too greedy...I showed my deuces that hand(first time in months I showed a hand) and I know I surprised the hell out of the MP raiser...he was putting me on a flush. Can't chase them out at 3/6, can you?
