100NL 5-max, 2-pair facing checkraise

SB is somewhere along the lines of 40/15/1.

Should I even bother to call his checkraise? I mean, he actually checkraised the both of us after a bet and a raise. The fact that he wasn't very aggressive postfl0p (never seen him make any moves) is scary also.

Call a safer turn? Dump anything but a 9 or 7? Just fold?

MP ($119.90)
Hero ($106.50)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, 7.
1 fold, MP raises to $3, Hero calls $3, SB calls $2.50, 1 fold.

Flop: ($10) T, 9, 7 (3 players)
SB checks, MP bets $3, Hero raises to $12, SB raises to $21, MP calls $18, Hero calls $9.

Turn: ($73) 5 (3 players)
SB bets $20, MP folds, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $93

Fold the flop c/r. Bottom two no good.

I called in hopes of spiking a 9 or 7 and stack his straight/set/turned flush/whatever, do you think the call was good? The turn didn't really help, but I have seen a lot of players min-checkraising/minraising with draws. Any difference if the turn is 5 and he bets $20 into the $73 pot again? I think he really wanted a call.

Scary indeed. If you call, it's for a 9 or a 7 imo.. which I wouldn't bother with personally. I think it's a made hand, not a draw when he raises here.. the minbet might actually be because he is a bit scared you hit a flush?

If someone is out there with T7/T9/tt/99 (and by the looks of things, those hands are there) then improving could be the death of you.

good point.

its a min c/r, no way i would fold flop

he probably flopped a straight, but you aren't getting odds to call on turn
