Titan tosses me a $20 bonus for not playing in months, I mess around on the 20NL tables, get no action, stack drops to ~$10, I win it back on the roulette tables :)

Then another $20NL table, no reads, and this hand comes up.
(sorry, Titan's HH sucks so I gotta do it via screenshot).

Call? Fold? Push?

I would have raised more on the turn because of the flush draw. I think he has Aces but do you want to risk most of your chipstack on that assumption. If very possible he was chasing the flush as well. Call his raise. You'll still get a good sized pot.

There is no way we can call this. We're ahead of nothing but a bluff or a complete idiot with AK, we're behind a zillion hands (A9/A6/set/flush/etc).

Generally when you get raised on the river having been aggressive throughout the hand, you want something much stronger than a very weak two pair on a reasonably co-ordinated board to call with.

^^Axh or busted flush isn't likely enough to call?

No I'd throw this away, after a strangely similar hand I had had a couple of days ago. I couldn't put this guy on any sort of hand, and he was aggressive. But I tanked it, put him on a busted straight draw and made a bad call.

Full Tilt Pot-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed)

UTG ($77.65)
MP ($27.95)
Button ($55.80)
SB ($13.50)
Hero ($29.25)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2

UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($1.25) 9

SB checks, Hero bets $0.75, UTG calls $0.75, MP calls $0.75, Button calls $0.75, SB folds.

Turn: ($4.25) 2

Hero bets $3, UTG calls $3, MP folds, Button folds.

River: ($10.25) 4

(2 players)
Hero bets $6.25, UTG raises to $29, Hero calls $19 (All-In).

Final Pot: $64.50

Hero has 2c 9s (two pair, nines and twos).
UTG has 5s 3s (straight, six high).
Outcome: UTG wins $64.50.

You're right, but I think you underestimate how often this can be a bluff. Chuck was in the BB, checked it. Really doubtful he holds an A, and a lot of players love to bluff on a river A/flush-filler in this spot when it seems pretty clear opponent has neither.

I still lean towards folding, readless, but I feel like it can be kinda close.
