3bet pot SBvsBTN - Spewy or ok?

Blinds: $1.00/$2.00 (5 Players) CO: $200.00
BN: $543.52
SB: $212.52 (Hero)
BB: $221.92
UTG: $335.69
Preflop ($3.00) Hero is SB with 5 5
2 folds, BN raises to $4.00, Hero raises to $14.00, BB folds, BN calls $10.00
I choose to 3bet this hand because vilain was 4betting aggr. and fold too much to 5bet. I also dont have a flatting range in SB but usually fold 55 vs most opp.
Flop ($30.00) 2 7 2
Hero bets $17.00, BN calls $17.00
Pretty std.
Turn ($64.00) 2 7 2 Q
Hero bets $33.00, BN calls $33.00
Not sure if I should start x- calling here. KQ is certainly in his range I think him 4betting a lot kinda remove some AQ. Also I think he 4bets most of his pairs over 88 so ...
River ($130.00) 2 7 2 Q 3
Hero checks, BN bets $479.52 and is all in, Hero calls $148.52 and is all in
We def. have a bluff catcher and since we dont block any FD combos I think calling here is fine? Sure explo, but if we think he doesnt have that many value combos OTR we can choose this line to exploit him?
Final Pot BN lost and shows a pair of Deuces.
SB wins and shows two pair, Fives and Deuces.
SB wins $424.24
Rake is $2.80

So Im I spewing here, should I start x-calling the turn?

Preflop seems fine to me, especially given your description of villain.

On the turn, I think it might be best to just try and check down this hand. We don't have any equity or blocking cards and it's likely we need to either fire lots of rivers to get villain off his PP or he now has top pair after a float. Unless he's floating hands like JT on the flop, he either has top pair or has Ax and should check it down so I would feel fine check/folding turn.

Another thing to pay attention to is that you sized your turn bet very small. Not only does this reduce your fold equity on the turn, but it makes it apparent that you don't have a hand on the turn that you're setting up for stacks planning to jam the river since a river jam would now be over pot.

As played, river seems like an easy fold. He's not going to have enough heart combos that are bluffing here, especially if he's likely to check back with Axhh.

dont have villain infor. so if he is good lag, i will bet at turn or check raise allin to beat villain's any float action. as play, i like hero's line.

Don't put the result, you will have result oriented / biaised answers.

Up&Up answer is perfect for me. X/f turn. River is very very spewy imo.

Thanks guy. That s what I tought... but i feel x folding the turn is pretty weak vs this type of player. Im probly wrong here... Do you x fold Q, K, A turn and x call others? or just x fold any turn?
