Who likes this check/check/bet line when HU?
I've been using it more lately when HU out of the blind and flopping top pair or middle pair thats not terribly vulnerable.

It seems to me that anything he just calls with will result in, at best, a split pot. Why not check the river and try to induce a bluff, on the off chance that he doesn't have an A or Q? I could be very wrong, but don't think there's any value in this river bet.
