Hero checks, BTN bets $11.17 and is all-in, fold

What would you do at river? Why? I was committed to go all-in if flush didn't complete. 7 was worst card which could possibly come in my opinion because now also JT have straight.

Call

You should have called the river i my mind because you had top two pair and also the shove on the river was less than half the size of the pot.

He could have worse two pair than yours A8, A9, K9, 89 or79 and after your check he would have shoved thinking his hand was best or he could have bluffed just to get you off the hand. So i think you should have called as more often you would be right.

How likely are these weaker 2 pair combos? Sure, he could have them, but it's not exactly automatic to call the pre-flop 3bet with any of them. The Ax hands also have to call a sizable flop bet with 2nd or 3rd pair in order to see the turn.

Snap call. Kh is on the board, you have Ah, button would have to be flatting a 3bet with 108s or QJ/Q10h. No way. Only hand he can reasonably have here and have you beat is 88 or 99. If he is balanced and can bluff this river at all, we're snapping
