Reads on players -
BTN is a crazy man. He rarely folds pre-flop and likes to splash around after the flop if he hit any piece of it. I do have a serious problem with him here though because his favorite hand is Q,10. If he had Q,10 pre-flop he'd have played it no matter how much the raise was. Of course the 2s scares me to death because it's very possible he called the bet on the flop with a flush draw.
BB is harder to read. Rarely have I seen him show down anything but a quality hand. I think it's likely he has pocket kings or jacks, both of which I can beat.
I feel like the best thing I can do here is cut my losses and fold. At this point I'm getting about 3.5 to 1 on a call. I'm just worried that the only prayer I have of winning this hand is a board pair on the river.
I already know where things went bad in this hand - I should have re-raised on the flop. My question here is did I play the hand properly pre-flop and is it find to fold on the turn?
