played absolutely perfectly.Yuo will win that far more than 17%, far more. And look at the pot you coudl've won, 10-13 BB for just 3 BB of your own money. The flop was dreadfully draw heavy so you have to keep betting. Alos, bottom two pair is so easily couterfeited when the board pairs another card, in addiotn, to the straight and flush draws out there.well played.good call and fold on river.

Looks good to me as well.I'll throw out one alternate possibility, depending on your read of the situation and UTG: The pot is fairly large at that point, but MAYBE we can fold our two-pair to the initial bet if he doesn't seem the type to bluff out of nowhere on a scary river card. Obviously, once you call and it's two more back around to you it becomes an easy fold.
